Luke Samuelson, a senior majoring in game design, has found a unique intersection of creativity, technology and applied learning through his role at Shocker Studios. As an LED volume and game design lab technician, he is already laying the foundation for a career that blends the immersive world of game development with the rapidly evolving field of virtual production.
Luke’s role at Shocker Studios is funded by the Applied Learning Fund. This financial support has played a meaningful role in his academic journey.
“The greatest benefit from the scholarship is truly the ease of burden of not having to worry nearly as much about the financials of college,” Luke said.
Luke’s dream job would be to produce games for either AAA companies or as an independent developer while also working to develop scenes for virtual production.
