Director and producer Nicole Young grew up in Johnson City, Tennessee before moving down to Orlando, Florida to pursue degrees in film management and animation. Multimedia animation is of particular interest to Nicole. As a result, she produced and directed two multimedia animated short films in college; "My Night Mare" and "Worlds of Matter." After months of hard work with her team, "Worlds of Matter" is her directorial debut.
Currently, Nicole works as a production assistant for the Love Nature channel at Blue Ant Media, where she has been credited on multiple productions since 2022 including The Hungry Games: Alaska's Big Bear Champion (2024) and Evolution Earth (2023).
