My name is Richard Denton and I have been called many things. I am an Eagle Scout, a black belt, a college graduate, a fraternity brother, and a gamer. Most of all, I am an artist.
What began as an infatuation with web design and computer programming led to a degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Throughout my 4 years of study, I become increasingly interested in the development of video games. By graduation, I had been involved in numerous gaming project firsts on my campus. I received my Bachelors in Electronic Media, Arts, and Communication in 2007.
Today, I reside in sunny Los Angeles, California. I began my way up the industry ladder working under the quality assurance department at Activision Blizzard. Eventually, I hope to become part of the development process and put my design skills to good use on games I can be proud to be a part of. Until then, however, I work as a freelance designer in order to hone my trade.
