Rizu Ressa • Narrative Designer and Writer Portfolio

Welcome to my portfolio! I'm a Narrative Designer and Writer from Southern Virginia. Growing up, I was always fascinated playing games and fables. As a teenager, I wrote stories about my experiences and a fantasy world full of magic. One of my most cherished memories that had a huge impact on my journey was the Final Fantasy series.
That drive is what shaped my desire to become a Narrative Designer and Writer, to give someone else that same inspirational drive to create their own world of Fantasy.
I hope to inspire others to express themselves to be true to their heart and dive into a world of adventure.
