ABOUT

Hi, I’m Ren! I’m a writer and narrative designer based in Los Angeles, CA, where I was also born and raised.

I’ve been working in games since 2018, specializing in narrative and character-driven experiences.

Since then, I’ve worked on visual novels, RPGs, open-world sims, robots, and more, for companies like Netmarble, HYBE, Singularity 6, and Wicked Saints Studios.

My love for writing and video games started in elementary school. I remember writing astronomy poems, silly picture books, and stories inspired by my favorite media.

My first console was the Game Boy Advance, which made me fall in love with Super Mario and Pokémon. Then, I got a Nintendo DS and fell deep into the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney rabbit hole. I’ve now played dozens of narrative-driven games—and worked on many, too!

I’m passionate about crafting worlds, characters, and experiences that echo the same enchantment as the ones that shaped my childhood and adult life.

In my personal life, I’m a lover of plants and animals, food (I’m Yelp Elite!), horror, photography, music, books, and travel.

I’m an aspiring polyglot: I’m fluent in English and grew up speaking Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese (简体繁体都可以). I also have basic proficiency in Korean, Japanese, and Spanish, knowledge of which has been helpful working with global teams.

I’m always learning, adapting, and growing, and applying my life experience to my craft.
