INDIE CLUSTER: Ethan Redd

Ethan Redd is an independent multimedia designer, artist, developer, and consultant currently based in Buffalo, NY and New York City. Forged in the fires of the aesthetics of the mid-1990s, Redd boasts a signature style sporting bold colors, sharp silhouette, and lively, life-affirming charm. A self-taught jack-of all trades and one man juggernaut, Redd believes in the power of art and media to inspire people to reach higher and push further in their own lives.

His upcoming game, Blazing Legion: Ignition is an intense first-person mecha piloting action that Redd designed, produced, coded, and did the artwork for, featuring an all new OST by Skybridge.
