Cole Loren

I was born and raised in the Sunshine State, where early outdoor explorations and imaginative play nurtured my creativity. Growing up in a military household instilled in me a deep sense of discipline and organization that continues to guide both my personal and professional life.

My artistic journey began at the age of six with private lessons, sparking a passion that soon expanded into diverse techniques, including stippling, charcoal, pastels, painting, and color theory. By the time I was eight years old, I had already established a strong foundation that would shape my future as an artist.

In high school, I joined the I.T. Academy, where I blended creative design with technical expertise by producing print materials and multimedia presentations for faculty. Through this program, I earned certifications in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Microsoft Office, equipping me with versatile creative and professional skills.

I went on to earn an Associate of Arts degree from Pasco-Hernando State College before pursuing a bachelor’s in 3D Video Game Art at Full Sail University. Over an intensive 21-month program, I developed expertise in 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, and game engine integration—skills that continue to inform my artistic and professional work today.

Beyond academics, I’ve expanded into leadership and consulting roles. As a Board Member and Social Media Marketing Manager at Ascension GHQ, I assist creators in increasing their online presence and navigating the challenges posed by algorithm-driven platforms. As Director of Growth and Store Manager at AMO Bros., I lead teams, manage operations across multiple locations, and create engaging promotional media.

I am seeking opportunities to bring my creative expertise, technical skills, and leadership experience to a passion-driven company. If your team is seeking a reliable, detail-oriented artist with a proven ability to grow and adapt, I’d welcome the opportunity to contribute. Please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss how I can add value to your organization.
