Stephen Riesenberger - Portfolio

As a 30-year veteran in the Video Game industry, I have experience in every stage of production from concept to ship, approaching every game design as a new challenge to overcome using creative problem solving.


Being a Video Game Designer is the fulfillment of my childhood dream since Christmas, 1979.
