Hi, I'm Ryan Hendricks from Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm a game design student with a strong foundation in level design, scripting, and collaborative design, currently pursuing a BA in Game Design at DePaul University. I'm a lifelong enjoyer of messing with my own voice, and would love to develop my talents and lend them if able. My professional journey spans roles in a university bookstore, contract tech support, and guest services, which have sharpened my collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills. I'm proficient with Unreal Engine 5, Unity, Wwise, Audacity, Pro Tools, and Autodesk Maya, and I'm excited to contribute to cross-disciplinary game development, animation, and other projects.
