Nickolouise Latombo
Animator and Storyboard Artist

Hello There!
I'm Nickolouise! I'm a 2D Animator and Story Artist graduated at Auckland University of Technology, Bachelors of Art and Design.Since at a young age, I always love the art of storytelling and bring them to life.I spend a lot of my down time expanding original characters and explore their stories and concepts through doodles and discussions. Other than that, I'm a huge fan of puzzles and games that involve a lot of piecing things together, or just a bunch of cozy games to ease my mind.I'm a student of life and the arts, always pushing myself for improvement and learn more, so this portfolio will grow over the years of my journey :D!
