Hi there! My name is Makiyah, and I’m an Ohio-based artist, writer, and game developer with a passion for crafting narrative-driven gaming experiences. 

I’ve always loved storytelling. As a child, I spent much of my free time drawing comics and writing stories about fearsome dragons, spacefaring wanderers, and spellcasting fairies. Since then, I’ve broadened my creative skillset, graduating summa cum laude from Kent State University with a B.S. in Animation Game Design in 2024.

Even now, I’m still learning, tackling skills both old and new from narrative design to illustration, animation, and even production. Here you’ll find a collection of the projects I’ve worked on, both academic and personal!
