ABOUT NICOLAS B. BLOOM

Hello! My name is Nicolas Bloom, and I’m a character animator/character designer. Armed with a background in studio art as well as an education in game design and character animation, my goal is to bring memorable characters to life that enrich the experience of any piece of media I work on. I also have an education in communication & business leadership in order to more effectively communicate ideas and goals to clients and other departments, and I took a specialized course in animation for film, television, and video games to improve my expertise in that area. If you think I’m a good fit for your ideal game, movie, or show, let’s get in touch!I’ve had experience with art and kinetic design ever since I began making paper figures at an early age to play with my younger siblings. While I started by crafting different fictional characters from franchises I enjoyed growing up, I eventually moved on to making my own original characters, and I fell in love with the character design process. This early interest eventually evolved into my current passion for character design and conceptualization in games – except this time, my audience is much larger than just my two siblings.While I prefer character animation and design, I enjoy other aspects of game design and development as well. During my pursuit of a Bachelor\'s degree in Game Design at High Point University, I worked in areas such as environmental design, narrative design, and gameplay coding. I also worked as a project head, leading a small team to build a successful board game prototype that I continue to tinker with and improve in my spare time. For use in my future collaborations, I learned to speak, write, and otherwise present more effectively for an audience while completing my Master\'s degree in Communication and Business Leadership. In my free time, I continue to discover and train myself in the use of a variety of programs and coding languages while continuing to expand and refine my skills in game design.
