I’m Jude Denning, the person behind Nebuloous Studio. I’ve done quite a lot of things— I’m an artist, author, designer, researcher, and activist—
and I plan to keep trying many more.

Jude enjoys exploring a wide variety of mediums with a sense of whimsy—everything from pixel art to candle-making. They are driven by a strong sense of empathy and a drive to find the connections between every living thing. Growing up surrounded by environmentalists, they were instilled with a healthy admiration for the beauty of nature. This beauty has continued to inspire their work, even as they were drawn toward the fantastical. Jude has always been the type of person to fully invest in the worlds they love: reading every field guide, following every path, unlocking every ending, devouring every scrap of flavor text. They fell in love with interactive stories from a young age, but it wasn’t until they ran their first game of Dungeons & Dragons that they learned to love telling those stories, too.

At UChicago, they studied Psychology alongside Media Arts and Design. These programs balanced their appreciation for analysis and the arts, allowing them to engage in many of their interests at once and acquire a diverse range of skills. Currently, Jude is pursuing their passion for game design and user experience design.
