My name is Nicolas Giampaglia and I graduated from Marist College (May 2023) with a Bachelors of Science studying Games and Emerging Media with a concentration in Design, Writing, and Culture and a minor in Interactive Media. And in October 2023 I completed a UX/UI Design certification and the Google Professional UX Certificate in September 2024.
I grew up in Norwood, New Jersey, playing video games throughout my childhood and young adulthood. Some of my favorite games include Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Dishonored, MLB the Show, Elden Ring, and the Pokémon franchise. Sports have also been an integral part of my life. I've played Basketball and Baseball ever since I could remember while playing American Football on occasion. I also served as a volunteer Flag Football coach for a couple of years. Lastly, movies and television shows have had a heavy impact on me with some of my favorites being: Naruto, One Piece, The Godfather, the Spiderman movies, and The Mask.
I have also traveled throughout The United States including but not limited to: Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Florida, California, and Illinois. I have also taken trips out of the country as well, visiting some of the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, and my personal favorite, Italy.
