ManuelKrusy

Hi, I'm Manuel Krusy, a design professional from Witten, Germany with a hands-on approach to creativity, technology, and storytelling. I studied design at the University of Applied Sciences Dortmund and co-founded the indie developer team The Bitfather, where we created the successful RPG Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic.

With extensive experience in Unity, JIRA for project management, and common graphic design software, I also have proficiency in digital audio workstations like Logic Pro and basic video editing skills. My expertise spans team leadership, project management, workflow optimization for software projects, game design, and sound design.

I take a "learning by doing" approach to my work. While my formal education in design provides a strong foundation, I believe in the value of hands-on experience and experimentation. Over the years, I've successfully worked in diverse fields, always delivering results that reflect my commitment to excellence.

Throughout my career, I’ve been recognized for my contributions, earning several awards for my work on film projects during my university years. I was also nominated for the German Developers Award in 2015. Currently, I serve as the Head of Studio at Goon Squad, where I lead a dynamic team and oversee multiple projects, ensuring both creativity and efficiency.

Beyond my professional work, I’m deeply passionate about community engagement and mentorship. I enjoy giving back by sharing my knowledge and supporting emerging talent. When I'm not working, you’ll find me immersed in space exploration, sci-fi, or creating music—always blending my passions into my career - or simply in the kitchen, trying out new delicious recipes.
