About Me
My name is Rae Xerxes Yu. I grew up in Long Island, NY; and I am now currently based in Boston. I am a second-year Game Design major studying at Northeastern University. I design and execute my ideas in both the digital and physical world. My roots are in fine art, and I have expanded my skillset to digital programs and designing the framework of games and narratives. In my free time I enjoy reading and dancing. I've been classically trained in ballet, hip-hop, and jazz, and perform as a proud member of No Limits Dance Crew on campus.
