Hello, my name is Schöneck. I'm a game designer and web designer with over eight years of professional achievements and experience. I recently worked in the children's gaming industry at Ruckus Media Group. Where I've launched over 12 iPad apps and helped bring over 12 more through the development to be launched by the end of the year. Before that I was at Pulse Creative working in entertainment on flash animations and client pitches. I have won many awards throughout the years, in design, professional development, and personal practices. I find joy in working on side projects with local artists and choose to spend my free time either learning new subjects (chemistry and calculus right now) or martial arts (competitions and performances).
Experience Ruckus Media Group Position: App Game Designer (App Design) 9/2011 - Current?Ruckus Media has provided me the opportunity to work on interactive educational iPad books and games for children. To the delight of my design conscience! The main goal is to deliver content in a fun and exciting way that can be accessed on the child’s comprehension and overall progress of a subject matter. Which is then provided to the parents. But my design skills were not the only assets used; I also worked directly with offsite developers and designers to bring projects to completion. 12 iPad apps launched, 12+ more in the pipeline to launch by end 2012.
