Nick Bowen

Creative director who brought cinematic storytelling into classrooms on a school budget.

I direct

I set the creative vision for Quest: how every season looked, sounded and played.

I write

I wrote the scripts for each Quest season, storyboarded the episodes and directed the voice acting.

I make

I'm not just the director, I'm one of the artists: video, logos, game art, print design.

Most of the work showcased was made without AI.Some recent projects use AI tools under my direction. Every section is labeled.
