About Me

Nick is a passionate, experienced game and level designer with a strong technical background and a wide-ranging mastery of aspects across the field. Despite his broad expertise, he is still a lifelong learner, always seeking to expand his knowledge across subjects and software alike. His ultimate aim is to use his diverse skill set to create fun and long-lasting gameplay experiences – and to teach his students to do the same!

In his spare time, Nick enjoys going to the gym, cooking up various recipes, hiking, painting miniatures, climbing, and playing (and building!) games with friends.
