Origin Story

Alright, let's do this one last time. My name is Riley Elwell. I was bitten by the game dev bug, and for the last couple years, I've been on a mission to becoming a technical designer.

Growing up in California, I discovered my passion for tech through coding, robotics, and cybersecurity in high school. I then built a strong technical foundation at Oregon State University, earning a B.S. in Applied Computer Science (Simulation & Game Programming) and exploring tools like Unity. Now finding a passion for game design, I am currently studying at Futuregames in Stockholm, with the goal of expanding my knowledge and to build a strong portfolio.
