Hello! I'm RB MacDonald and I've loved everything about video games my entire life. For as long as I can remember I've wanted to be a game designer. To that end, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Advancing Technology with a B.A. in Game Design, and have diligently pursued a coveted design role in the industry. Currently, I'm working on my 10th year in QA at Bethesda Softworks where I've worked on Fallout Shelter, Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls: Blades, and Starfield where I have a coordinator role as a level two senior tester.
​
In my free time I enjoy all sorts of hobbies, which tend to rotate. I've practiced two styles of martial arts: Tae Kwan Do and Shaolin Kung Fu, and have a black belt in the former. I'll also play ping pong and go indoor climbing any chance I get. I have watched more anime and K-dramas than I can count, and love to try out new board games to add to my collection. I've also been part of multiple D&D campaigns.
​
If you'd like to know more about my past experiences, see the information below, or download my resume from the link below. Also, please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions. Thank you for stopping by!
