Hi, I'm Nolan

I’m a game developer, artist, and animator with over 10 years of experience designing and building games. I previously worked at GBH where I shipped more than 25 titles that garnered millions of plays for nationally-acclaimed brands such as Arthur, Molly of Denali, and Pinkalicious & Peterrific. My work has been nominated for two Emmy Awards and two Kidscreen Awards. 


I am also the co-founder of Normal Horse Games, a small indie game studio based in Central Massachusetts, where I’m leading development of the studio's first title, Nocternum.

I've spent my career taking games from concept to completion, honing my skills in design, development, animation and illustration. I particularly love indie games and the magic that can happen when a small group of creative minds get together to make something special. Outside of work, I also like gardening, playing music, and making ice cream.
