About Me.

I'm Rilie, and I love working on games! I'm a UCF/FIEA graduate with a BOA in Digital Media - Game Design and a MS in Interactive Entertainment ! My passion for gaming since childhood inspired me to learn the ins and outs of game design, with a focus in production. Storytelling is very important to me, so I always strive to prioritize a strong narrative in the games I work on. I value strong communication and teamwork when working on games, and I love bringing ideas to life through game design!
