Nejc Susec

AI creator and Educator, Storyteller

My name is Nejc (pronounced Nates).

Curiosity and creation are what motivate me.

I've been involved in the creative field for 9 years in various roles, positions and environments. I've created social media content, marketing campaigns, I've worked as a video editor, animator... I touch different areas all leading to one goal - learning to tell stories in new ways.

My most recent exploration has been AI. Since June 2022, I've been diving deep into AI tools to see how they can support my (and your) storytelling. In this time I've worked with a previsualization studio working with Hollywood directors, a game company building a web 3 MMORPG, a project for a cinematic universe looking to rival big studios like Marvel. 

I've been a speaker at the Generative AI conference, Geekle AI in web design conference, as well as a guest speaker at the UCLA Extension class on Generative AI.

 

The central question I explore through my work is, “How can AI support our creative process?”

In other words, I look for ways in which AI can help me (and you) create what we have in our minds and show it to the world.

With new tools we can create in ways never thought of before. I'm here to help you embrace them and venture into new worlds.
