From fire to stone
Good ideas come from sparks of inspiration, but they also need to be pressure-tested, formed into something solid.
We named our studio after igneous rocks, the kind that are born when lava cools and solidifies. We love taking an idea on the journey from brilliant spark to enduring stone.
Our mission: your growth
At Igneous, we wake up every morning to learn and build things that unlock the potential of our clients. Innovation and growth can be hard when you're running all the critical components of your business every day. Our team provides extra firepower to bring your ideas to life, arm you with more data to make big decisions, or even launch new models for you—without distracting from your existing business.
Think of us like your special ops team, scouting ahead and bringing back results. Have a mission for us? We're ready.
Our leaders
Dominic Scheck
Cofounder
Dominic has over 10 years of R&D experience, specializing in developing new products, building business cases, launching pilots, leading cross-functional teams, and marketing. He has successfully launched and grown several products to serve hundreds of thousands of consumers. He also started and manages a real estate business and small tech company.
Dominic loves delving into data, dreaming up a solution, and doing whatever it takes to quickly learn if that solution will work or how to revise it. He understands the power of a good idea and the importance of execution to make it work well. A martial artist with imagination, he also likes to scale walls with his grappling hook.
Jessyca Duerr
Cofounder
From video games to humanitarian aid, education to healthcare, Jessyca has seen a lot of different industries. She has also worn a variety of hats (including some fancy ones). Be it project management, strategy development, communications, team mergers, marketing, product design, or UX engineering, Jessyca rolls up her sleeves and gets the job done. Her career has trained her to learn new industries and skills fast while executing with flair. She is fueled by problem solving (go green or go home).
In her free time, Jessyca is very into the flying trapeze and scaling walls with her grappling hook.

Dan’s expertise lies in the disciplines of marketing, branding, and new product development. He has leveraged these skills across several industries and business models, including consumer packaged goods, retail, and healthcare.
