Our project

We’re a couple who explore cultural connections and make our own.

Through creative combinations of people, places, and pastimes, our writing project will inspire you to find pairings in your own experiences. Search this site by location or topic, or simply browse articles matching music and food, cocktails and art. Whether planning a trip or staying innovative at home, we think you’ll agree: some things are better together.

Share your pairings: @ryszplusrysz #RplusR

Who we are

Ronnie Rysz

I’m a communications and media strategist who produces digital projects in the cultural realm. My practice includes the visual arts and my work is found in public and private collections throughout the US. Cooking is something else I enjoy, especially experimenting with recipes collected from my travels. Catch me in off-hours cycling on the road or in the woods, depending on the season.

Tori Rysz

After two decades of experience in communications and development, my passions have stayed the same: relationship building and telling stories in unforgettable ways, especially supporting arts and culture. When I’m not writing, you can find me reading one book a week, seeking out new flavors and sounds, and visiting museums around the world—virtually, for now.
