Animation Specialist & Visualizer
I hold a degree in 3D Animation and Visualization from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. My professional background includes working as a 3D Layout Artist on Moominvalley (Season 3) and serving as a Production Assistant on the animated features Fleak and Niko - Beyond The Northern Lights. These roles have given me a solid command of the 3D pipeline and a deep understanding of high-level production workflows.
Beyond 3D, my true passion lies in 2D animation and the pre-production stage. I offer end-to-end creative services, including storyboarding, building animatics in Premiere Pro, and producing fully realized animations from start to finish.
I specialize in Adobe Character Animator, focusing on creating dynamic puppets and production-efficient animations. This workflow is ideal for high-speed projects like explainer videos, where quality and efficiency are paramount. I also have expertise in real-time animation, allowing for live interaction. My deep understanding of the software is backed by my bachelor’s thesis, which focused specifically on the capabilities and workflows of Adobe Character Animator.
