Hello!
I'm Maria.
I studied communication and multimedia in college and computer animation in my master's.
I always felt like people around me were a lot more artsy than me. I was happy to find the technical part of this industry, where we can have both!
Funny thing is, I only learnt about it because, while doing a short animated film, nobody wanted to do the rigging part, so I said I could try. Glad I did!
For a few years, I work at a company called Didimo and I did a bit of different things. Also found out that I like simulations, but always wanted to focus more on rigging.
So, I was happy when I got the chance to start working at Outfit7 as a rigger. Moved to Slovenia in 2021 and it's been a great learning experience. In many ways!
Also about me, I like to read, watch formula 1, photography and to visit abandoned places.
That's all folks.
Thank you!
