My name is Nick and I am currently a live streamer and content creator. I have also been doing graphic design work for some time in different forms. Most notably I have created all types of live stream graphics for myself, and others around me. This process started when I began my streaming career on Twitch.
I have been streaming on twitch for about 4 years now getting more involved during quarantine. During that time I began to increase the quality of my stream. I could not afford to hire anyone to make custom emotes or overlays, so I began to create my own.
I had little to know previous experience with Adobe software, but there is a wealth of knowledge available from other creators. I began to consume all of the information I could and taught myself everything that I know today. I have created emotes, overlays, animated alerts, GIFs, and more.
I have also had the chance to use that creativity and my technical background to utilize bot technology, multiple applications, and my graphics to interact with my community. People viewing my stream can trigger events using commands and redeems. This includes playing sounds, changing scenes during a live broadcast, and popping up graphics on screen as well.
I believe the next step in my creative career is leading me into a more technical field. I am now beginning to learn basic coding using python and hopefully more!
