Profile Picture

Hey everyone, my name is Ricky Smith. I’m a writer interested in pursuing a career in creative marketing, I’m currently a freelancer with a degree in film and media studies. .

I returned to KU to pursue a degree in journalism with a concentration in strategic communications and plan to graduate in 2025. I have experience creating commercials and campaigns for a variety of local businesses as well as for myself. I’m looking for a role where I can use my creative skills with strategic communications to develop campaigns for businesses.

Outside of work I really enjoy sports, especially football and basketball. I played football in high school and still enjoy playing and watching it on TV. I’ve never been the best at basketball, but it’s great exercise and fun to play.


One of my favorite movies growing up was Toy Story. Just something about the story always compelled me, the idea of what toys do when humans aren’t around. I remember when I was little always wondering if my toys came to life when I wasn’t home. And honestly, I still don’t know.
