Moi!
I'm a visual designer and artist specializing in asset creation, digital illustration, color design, and 3D visualization. I create visuals and assets for games, marketing, books, and animation, with a passion for bringing stories to life through compelling imagery.
I also have experience in motion graphics and animation. My understanding of production workflows, pipelines, and technical processes has helped me succeed in supervisory and art direction roles across mobile game and animation projects.
I've been passionate about drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. In 2002, I discovered digital illustration and later expanded into 3D art, turning a lifelong hobby into a career.
I enjoy creating colorful environments and characters, bringing imagination into visual storytelling. I'm also enthusiastic about exploring new 3D techniques and integrating them into my creative process.
I graduated from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in 2010, with studies in graphic design, 3D visualization, and animation.
Over the past decade, I've worked in animation, games, and marketing as an artist, supervisor, and art director. Along the way, I've collaborated with many talented professionals who have continuously inspired and taught me. I value teamwork highly and believe that learning and growth never stop.
Currently I work at Metacore as a senior visual development artist.
