GAME DESIGNER

Ryan Salmon

I am a Game Designer with a focus on Level and Mechanics Design. I enjoy the development process for games and exploring different aspects that are part of that process. I am an Illinois native and enjoy third person melee games most of all. My current goal is to continue to learn about the design and development process for games. The long-term goal is to work on a large-scale title within the game industry.
