Hi I'm Ron!

I like making games, designing adventures, producing esports, and learning all there is to the design and development processes. I am an avid esports fan and producer too, and am constantly looking for and finding parallels between games and sports.

I am a graduate from RIT with a BS in Game Design and Development, looking to work around video games in fields like tech art, level design, UI/UX, and narrative design. During my time at RIT I helped found and lead the RIT Esports program as its Production Director and helped upgrade the looks of collegiate esports leagues like NAUSL, CEA Siege, College CoD, and Collegiate Star League.

In the summer of 2019 I interned at Muse Games as their UI Design Intern, innovating the way UI engages the players in a new project. Taking some of the skills learned through trial and error of the past, as well as new tricks from Muse, I'm reinventing the way our broadcast works as the creative director at College CoD.

Nice to meet you, I'd love to get in touch!
