Ariadna 'Ari' Martinez is an Argentinian writer and narrative designer currently typing away amongst the majestic mountains of Vancouver, British Columbia. With prior experience in film, she's forged an eight-year career in the games industry from small startups to AAA studios such as Capcom; Guerrilla (Horizon Forbidden West); and her current home, Sucker Punch Productions (Ghost of Yōtei). She's even briefly delved into theme park writing, another creative love of hers. In her spare time, she teaches Game Writing at Vancouver Film School hoping to pass on her passion and knowledge of narrative design to the next generation of writers.
