About ME
I am a Master of Architecture candidate at the Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture and a minor in Game Design. I also do freelance illustration, rendering, and 3D model commissions. In my spare time, I like to refine my design aesthetics, 3D modeling skills, and rendering techniques through mini art projects that I post on social media. I have interests in both the film/entertainment industry and architectural design. I pride myself on being extremely meticulous and critical with the work I produce, as well as a willingness to constantly learn and improve.
WHY “NO CLUES” or “NOCLUSE” ?
A lot of people wonder why I go by “No Clues” or “Nocluse” on social media and I often get asked whether or not the aliases’ connotations might come across negatively in a professional setting. In short, I went by “Nocluse” online, which is an abstract alliteration and shortening of my first name “Nicholas”. As I started gaining a following, I decided to just change it to “No Clues”, as I thought it would save me the hassle of explaining the meaning and origins of “Nocluse”. I was wrong. I use both now and have to explain every time.
My online name has not impeded me in a professional setting. Yet. I doubt it will in the future.
