Hi, I’m Nicky. I grew up in New Jersey and spent weekends riding the train into NYC to visit museums, draw animals, and get inspired by everything from ancient artifacts to modern installations. That early curiosity led me to earn a BFA in Digital Production for Games from Gnomon School in Los Angeles, where I focused on 3D character design and visual storytelling.

These days, I teach high school digital art and photography—often at a college level—where I help students build technical skills while encouraging their creativity and voice. Outside the classroom, I’m usually sketching, checking out local exhibits, or recharging with a good cup of coffee.
