My name is Ryan Golden. I am a junior at Miami University of Ohio with a Games and Simulation major with a focus on game art and a minor in Japanese. Ever since I was young, I have always had a love of video games. They shaped the way I interacted and thought about the world. After gaining further knowledge at Miami University, I have gained a wide variety of skills ranging from storytelling, level design, 2D pixel art, and 3D modeling/animation. As a digital artist, I am interested in the visual side of games and how their art is created and used to create engaging experiences. My favorite genre of games, fighting games, tend to have both a unique blend of gameplay and visual storytelling. I have worked on games in the past as a lead artist, collaborating with my teams to put out outstanding creative work. I believe that you should always give it your all, no matter the situation. This methodology forms the basis for all my work.
