ANIMATION
Nicki Utecht
Hello! I am Nicki Utecht, a 2D animator and character designer based in Milwaukee, WI. I recently graduated from Milwaukee area Technical College with an associate’s degree in 2D animation. I am currently looking to intern or work in the field to build my portfolio and gain experience in both animation and character design.
Besides animating, I love illustration and character design. Creating a character and bringing them to life is one of my favorite things to do. Outside of art, I enjoy cooking and baking, spending time with my gecko, playing video games, watching cartoons, and singing.
