❀•°❀°•❀ Welcome!! ❀•°❀°•❀
Hi! My name is Nick and I'm an 4th year computer science undergrad at UMaine with a minor in creative writing. I'm a transfer student from the University of Rochester where I majored in chemistry for a while as well. I've done an internship for a medical technology company working with surgical equipment, and after graduation I plan to get a job (hopefully) in software engineering!
I'm a bona fide extrovert, and my goal with tutoring is always to make it an enjoyable and worthwhile experience! Writing has always been something I've enjoyed, and it's my life-long goal to one day have a book published. My strong suits are in creative writing and scientific papers, but I love working with all different types of writing, and I'm always down to learn something new from reading someone else's work!
Outside of the Writing Center, I like figure skating, volleyball, playing videogames (mostly Genshin and Stardew), watching anime, and sewing / costume making! I used to be a competitive figure skater for a while, but I was mostly self-taught from YouTube! Several of my writing pieces included in this website are based around figure skating since my love for the sport runs so deep.
°•❀ My Craft Projects ❀•°
I'm a self-proclaimed costume designer! I make my own cosplays for cons and create my own costumes for figure skating competitions. I love being able to take a concept design and bringing the art to life as something I can proudly wear, whether it's in front of a crowd on the ice, in a cosplay competition, or just for fun!
Here are some of my best works!
Vash the Stampede - Trigun Stampede
My most well-known cosplay! The jacket and glove were sewn from scratch, and I fabricated the prosthetic arm as well.
Lance McClain - Voltron
My most complicated and ambitious cosplay! I sewed the bodysuit from scratch, and the entire armor suit was made from EVA foam. I even did the wiring myself!
Figure Skating Costume
2022-2023
The first project I sewed entirely from scratch without assistance. I sewed and bedazzled the entire jacket!
Figure Skating Costume
2021-2022
One of my first sewing projects! The leotard was altered, and I sewed the skirt from scratch. I decorated and bedazzled the entire thing!
