Justin Hanson

Justin has been a prolific gamer his whole life. He grew up in the upper Midwest where options for entertainment were pretty limited, so he spent most all of his time gaming. Early on, he found a love for design by making maps and mods in various games, and eventually went to DigiPen Institute of Technology to learn how to do that For Real™ (and get a job out of it).

He's now been a designer for the past 15 years. He spent the last 6 of those at Riot Games, where he worked on League of Legends champions, monetization, events, and more. He ended his time in Riot R&D as a lead combat designer.
