Ralph Hale

Ideation & Implementation Coordinator

For his work with The Olive Book, Ralph is the resident jack-of-all-trades. Content editing, proofreading, graphics design, and operational strategy are all occasionally known to visit his wheelhouse. Around the office, he’s probably best known for his turning of phrases, love of recipe tuning, and capacity to turn around solutions to complex, multifaceted challenges.

These duties mesh well with his engagement in playing his eclectic interests off one another; when asked to list a sample of them, he said, “Things”. We know he folds origami, paints, fixes anything and everything that crosses his path in need of repair, and produced a book that was an amalgam from his pursuits in photography, literature, geometry, communication, printmaking, botany, graphics, assembly, music, food, and wonder. The book is also a passable slinky.  

Ralph has his B.Arch from Virginia Tech and is walking the meandering path toward architectural licensure.
