I'm Zay Arriaga, a Game Design & Development graduate from the Rochester Institute of Technology. I like working where mechanics, narrative, and player experience overlap, bringing a curious, collaborative approach to making ideas playable early.
I build thoughtful game systems, character-driven worlds, and interactive writing with a focus on clear player experiences.
