Hi! I am Nick Vance. I am a versatile designer and artist who is passionate about the usability of everyday things, but especially in interactive media. I have eleven years of experience creating user flows, interfaces, and interactive animations in the video game industry. I have worked on quite a few platforms and different engines, and I am always enthusiastic to learn new technologies. Aside from making video games, I like to cook, I love to drive virtual cars, and I am a pretty decent bass guitarist.
Nick is a multi-skilled and highly creative artist who is an original thinker and always comes up with inventive solutions to design problems. His passion for games and insight into usability and contemporary design was invaluable on several of our most important products. He's a fantastic UX designer and a very talented artist with a keen sense for game design. His project wire frames and game mock ups are extremely detailed while solving problems which design or product had not foreseen.
Nick comes to the table with great ideas, immense creativity, stellar design skills, immense passion for all he works on, and industry knowledge that will help propel any project. His suite of creative skills stretch across many avenues, including UI, UX, graphic design, and logo design and each are executed with brilliant precision. His work is beautiful and polished from concept to final render and his designs stand out as a result of his exceptional skills and work ethic. I am forever grateful for all that he brought to our team and can easily say any team would be lucky to have him and all that he brings.
Nick is an outstanding and well rounded artist who is able to see beyond the art and into the purposes and goals of any project. He's creative, driven, and was always a pleasure to work with. Over many many years of working with Nick, I was able to see a consistency in both his actual work and skill in many forms of art, but his consistency in commitment and devotion to his craft. Would recommend him for any company looking for a leg up on their competition.
I had the privilege of working with Nick for several years. He is a nimble and exceptional designer, always able to adapt to any task thrown his way while bringing energy and passion into all of his work. Continually pushing himself and growing as a designer, Nick inspired the team, and myself, to do the same!
I've worked with Nick for many years and I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who needs art or design done for their project. He's great at creating high quality unique or reusable assets that meet technical specifications. As a front end developer it's great to be able to talk to someone who understands what is required and is able to design assets that work well. He also does a great job at providing guidelines and mockups for the overall design, which has made working with him an absolute pleasure.
Nick is one of the best teammates I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only is he concerned with user/player experience, maintaining stylistic integrity, and having fun while working, he’s also an amazing friend to everyone on the team. He’s worth 3X what you’ll offer him. He’ll give you 10X what you’ll expect.
