Game producer.

Welcome!

My name is Nicole Stocks, and I’m a game producer with a focus in agile and software projects. In 2023, I graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Games and Interactive Media and a minor in Game Design and Development. In my studies, I worked with a variety of cross-functional teams on software projects with timelines ranging from three weeks to semesters long.

I have always been passionate about pulling team members together to facilitate teamwork and open communication whether it’s in game design or other leadership scenarios. As a game producer, I aspire to give people the voice that they deserve when working in teams to make sure that everyone’s ideas are heard. Through the development of organizational skills and effective communication, I continue to push myself everyday to be the best leader that I can be.

I am currently seeking game production opportunities!
