About

Hi, I’m Nicholas R. Ellis. I have a strong background in media arts and visual communication, with a passion for 3D modeling and optimization. I’ve worked on projects ranging from optimizing complex 3D scanned assets for virtual reality environments to providing exceptional customer service in retail and automotive settings. I’m highly organized, adaptable, and thrive as part of a team.

With skills in Adobe Creative Suite, Maya, Zbrush, Unity, and Unreal Engine, I enjoy combining traditional art skills with cutting-edge technology to bring creative ideas to life. I’m always eager to learn and take on new challenges in both artistic and leadership roles.
