LOCALIZING WORLDS & PRODUCING SOUNDS SINCE — Y:2014
rAYE
I'm rAYE, a game localization specialist and music composer with nearly a decade of experience bringing interactive worlds to life. Whether you're looking for a localizer who genuinely cares about player experience, a composer for your next project, or both, you're in the right place.

My passion lies at the intersection of language and culture, crafting experiences that feel native to the people who play them. Whether that's through localization that captures the soul of a game's writing, or music that speaks without words, I'm drawn to the work of making something resonate across borders.
I hold a Master of Fine Arts in Game Design from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where I also studied Screen Scoring at NYU Steinhardt. That mix of storytelling, design, and music theory is what shaped how I approach both localization and composition today. Two disciplines that, at their core, are both about making players feel something.
