Roshelle Patterson

Roshelle "Ro" Patterson is a UX researcher, game designer, and multidisciplinary writer whose work explores the intersections of solarpunk storytelling, death education, environmental justice, and cultural preservation. A U.S. Air Force veteran, Ro’s career spans military and government service, mental health care, and both the indie and AAA games industries. She holds a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in UX Design, blending research, storytelling, and design to create transformative narratives. When she’s not writing or designing, you can find Ro rewatching The Office for the 20th time, scrounging through comic book longboxes for old Vertigo imprint issues, and committing the unforgiveable crime of cutting up old books and magazines to create whimsical mixed-media collages. Sometimes she gets lucky and lands the odd acting gig - if you look closely enough, you might even spot her in the background of both Marvel Studios' Black Panther films.
