☙About me❧
Kia Ora! I’m Nick, I’ve always been a creative and have always wanted to make stuff, be it animations, movies, or video games. I was raised in a very small, sleepy, coastal town in New Zealand; so finding resources to learn about creative fields was limited, until I was able to find internet communities filled with like-minded people, which is where I got my start as an independent creative.
When I’m not working on creative ambitions or practicing crafts, I spend my time with my beloved wife, hiking, hitting the gym, paddleboarding, running a Dungeons & Dragons game for friends, and playing video games… like A LOT of video games.
