Hello! My name is Richard(Richy) Santos. I started my Game Design/Animation Journey back in 2021. I attended DePaul University starting in 2020 studying Cybersecurity as my major. After a year of studying, I decided I wanted to choose something different to study and ended up studying Game Design until 2025. While studying Game Design, I also declared my minor in the Fall Quarter of 2021-2022 of Animation as I found an interest in 3D animation. I now am a graduate of DePaul University as of March 2025 with a Bachelors of Science in Game Design with a Minor in Animation. While studying, I also worked multiple campus leadership positions that have made built me to be the person I am today. Learn more information below!

My Story

I grew up in Chicago Illinois for 22 years and counting. I grew up most of my childhood in a low-income neighborhood called Rogers Park for about 10 years until my family and I decided to move. When I was a child, my father used to bring me to GameStop once in a while to get my a $5 used game to play for my PlayStation 2. I grew up playing Video Games as a child because my father had introduced me to them and even played with me as I grew up. I was a very anti-social child because I had many health issues growing up as a child. I had many food allergies and I also had asthma as a child. That being said, I wasn't much of an active child. I spent most of childhood playing video games so I grew up them since they were the only activity I could do that wouldn't cause me to have any sort of health hiccups. It was growing up as I lived in a house with different families so I never really grew up with just my immediate family. We always lived with someone else's family and that was just normal.
