About

My name is Ryder Claus—a student at DigiPen: Institute of Technology—who is interested in pursuing a field where compelling stories are made through player input and hard work.
I received my High School Diploma from Archbishop Murphy High School. I have a naturally optimistic view of the world; and I wish to follow Jesus' example to help people in need. I am a highly self-sacrificial and accommodating person, as I believe there are good attributes in everyone. All they need are the correct tools to flourish.
