About Rocky H.

Rocky Hernandez is a passionate Game Designer with experience in Game Directing, Game Designing, Game Development, and Game Art. The game industry is an industry he cares very much for and has dedicated his adult life to learning the ins and outs of the industry. A Full Sail University graduate for Game Design (BS), he found himself most comfortable in a leadership role; always willing and able to mentor other students and colleagues in various methods to solve any design situation. Challenging himself further, Rocky took on the programming end to learn how to develop his own games and even dabbling in the art end of the projects. He has been designing games since before Full Sail University, for over 5 years now, and has obtained more than 3 years of professional experience, leveling up every studio he has been a part of. Rocky directs his own studio with 10 other professionals working with him to bolster their portfolios and gain real world experience in creating mobile games.
