ABOUT ME
I'm River. I write code and make art.
Currently I live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
When I'm not working on games, I like to play them - whether digital, boardgames, or tabletop like D&D.
Other hobbies include 3D printing, robotics, and being creative with Lego. At 5 years old I started playing violin, and more recently spend some years with an orchestra.
After getting a degree as a programmer, I soon found myself interested in the art side of game development.
Nowadays I'm often combining the two as a technical artist, but I can easily adapt to support either the programming or 3D artist teams.
This gives me an edge in conversing with all development teams, making me a good team player.
Some highlights include:
- ScienceMakers Award winner
- 3x Gold winner at Robotics national championships
- 1x Gold and 1x Bronze winner at Robotics word championships
- Performed at Royal Concertgebouw four times
- Partook in filmscore recording
- 3D Printed HEX robot for DJ Don Diablo
- Weekly D&D Campaign going on 2 years
