Recommendations:
“Working with Ren was truly a delight. Ren is wonderfully skilled as a writer, and what’s more, is profoundly reliable and great at sticking to deadlines and communicating well with the team. I count myself so incredibly lucky that I got the chance to work with this amazing writer, and you would be too. If you have the chance — take it!”
— Heather Rose Walters, Former Lead ND/Writer at Soma Games
“I started working with Ren just as she graduated and — to be honest — threw her into the deep end of a major project. She powerfully rose to the challenge and proved to be one of the most consistently productive writers I’ve worked with. With a great grasp of narrative structure and game design, she’s a rare find and a valuable team member.”
— Chris Skaggs, Creative Director/Owner at Soma Games
“Not only is Ren an extremely talented writer, but also a fantastic and attentive project lead and a very intuitive person to work with. Ren genuinely cares about the work they do and will always go the extra mile.”
— Lindsay Kantrovich, Junior Game Writer at Soma Games
