An interactive game is the ultimate method for translating theoretical discussions into something tangible that the average person can play for themselves.

Here's my story
A little about me
Hi, I’m Christian Schick. I’m a creative and results-driven content designer looking to use my methodical approach to consistently shape product experiences. I’ve been designing content for over 7 years.
Here's what my 7-year career looks like
What I do and how I do it
Customer Profile Workshop
Define
Before writing anything, I work with clients and partners to define the project in measurable objectives. Using repeatable workshops, I ask strategic questions to uncover the optimal intersections between business and customer objectives. You walk out of this stage with a firmly stated (but flexible) strategy.
Deliverables
- Discovery workshops
- Objectives refinement
- Strategy statements
Write
During my writing process, I methodically build on the principles established in the strategy stage. When there’s a fork in the road, I present the tradeoffs of either path. In addition to the reasoning behind my choice, you walk away with drafted content.
Deliverables
- Copywriting
- UX writing
- Editing (AP Style)
Website Copywriting
Written by client, coached by me
Support
I continue to support my work after it’s completed and help others to use my principles in their projects. I center the conversation around the reasoning behind design choices. This breaks down defensiveness by focusing instead on what we can acheive together. You walk away with actionable feedback.
Deliverables
- Office hours and reviews
- Education presentations
- Collaboration sessions
Measure
After all writing work is complete, I create opportunities to measure success. This uncovers insights into what worked and what could be improved. You walk away with quantifiable proof that the work was worth the effort and certainty about where to go next.
Deliverables
- Data analytics
- Research synthesis
- Process refinement
Measurable results

I saved you a spot
In a compact city, there’s never enough parking. The parking that does exist is under threat of being developed. But excess parking increases the cost of housing, reduces land use productivity and invites suburban sprawl. How do you advocate for less parking without upsetting the drivers who depend on it?
Helping Choice Printing Choose Words
It’s one thing to write well. It’s quite another thing to be able to help others write well. It’s even quite a third thing to be able to help your client, who came to you to make their website, write something that they don’t even know where to start with.
Error Message Guidelines 1.0
What do you write when something goes wrong? This project was my first experience with exploring and creating scalable content patterns for common user problems.
Emerge Richmond Full Website Copywriting
Affordably professional and professionally affordable.
A better price than custom-coded design but better quality than out-of-the-box templates.
All these qualities needed to be bundled up into a single page of copy.
