Howdy, I'm Ryan!

I’m a game designer focused on mission and encounter design, with an emphasis on player experience, pacing, and gameplay systems. I recently completed an internship at Blizzard Entertainment, where I contributed to Overwatch 2 PvP development, working with scripting and perfecting timing of player experiences to shape great moment-to-moment gameplay.

Alongside my professional experience, I’ve developed multiple personal projects independently, designing and implementing all gameplay systems, scripting, and core mechanics. This hands-on approach has strengthened my ability to take ideas from concept to fully playable experiences, with a focus on iteration, clarity, and player-driven design.
