About Me
Hi there! Thank you for visiting my portfolio. While my legal name is Desiree, I like to go by Riot (they/them). I've been creating digital graphics since the early 2000s when everyone was friends with Tom on Myspace and we all roleplayed at Gaia Online. I built my first website when I was 14 on Geocities to showcase my blinkies, banners, and Myspace & Xanga backgrounds. My love for digital art continued from there.
The path to who I am today lead me on a journey of diverse experiences such as being lifestyle blogger & virtual assistant in 2012-2014 (themiraclemomma.com), Associate Product Manager from 2014-2018 (Gaia Interactive), and Community Manager & Customer Service Manager since 2019. (Pillowfort.social).
I fell in love with immersive storytelling on TikTok during the COVID-19 Pandemic and taught myself the skills needed for video editing so I could too, one day, create original character content. Now I participate in storytelling through an intense Pathfinder Campaign.
I grew up on anime, the internet, and video games. I really love professional wrestling. I'm also a sucker for Korean and Chinese dramas. I'm also a huge music fan. When I am not working I am the proud parent of four cats.
