Ryan Farkas
GAME DESIGNER
SHORT SUMMARY
I have always played games for as long as I can remember. The happiness and joy it brought me were immeasurable. Now as a game designer, I can create that same joy for someone else. I went to Wilfrid Laurier University to study Game Design and Development. The program slogan is 'games to change the world'. I strive to make games abiding by that slogan.
Game development isn't the only thing I'm passionate about. I also enjoy the role of management. Throughout my time in school and post-graduation, I always found myself in a leadership role. Working to make sure each member of the team is in the best environment to succeed. I created a company with a few of my fellow school graduates. Published Wormhole which is available on steam now and worked on many more projects. I also worked in construction as a project manager and site supervisor. In each job, I saw through the entire project from start to finish.
No matter the project I am 100% invested. I strive for solutions and look for positive outcomes. Check out my portfolio here for more detailed information.
