Salutations! I'm Alissa, a Narrative Designer who adores all forms of storytelling. I view interdisciplinary collaboration as a must in game development, and I'm passionate about learning new things and value team camaraderie. Over the years, I've become more experienced with documentation and development pipelines, giving and receiving professional critique, as well as iterating based on feedback. You can usually find me writing or reading and listening to music off hours, as well as managing a substantial amount of virtual communities.

Lead & Narrative Design Reel – Riptide

I was onboarded onto Riptide for my Senior Capstone Project, both to help provide a stable Narrative base to the game, as well as to assist in guiding my teammates as a Lead Designer. This reel helps to both simplify and outline a portion of the work I did, and the process that I used to bring my team's vision and the world of Riptide to life.
