I'm a Concept and 2D Artist looking for opportunities in the game industry world.

Biography

I'm an artist living in Kuopio, Finland trying to make new contacts in the gaming industry and also give a helping hand to a company that needs an artist in current development. As an early design experience, I had an internship in 3D Talo as a video editor and motion graphic designer. There I did various client video editing and Design Space -software tutorials. I’ve also been a freelancer for Russian companies and did graphic designs such as brochures and logos. This was a time when I got a good grip on my graphic design skillset. My biggest interest (and dream) now is to do 2D/Concept Art and 3D Art full time. Nowadays I'm in search of a stable work environment, currently completing my last freelancer job. I have graduated from Savonia UAS in Kuopio in 2019 as an Industrial Designer. During my studies, I had a great range of experience with companies, like HighRoller and Vireeni as well as multiple company case studies in collaboration with engineers. In 2017 I traveled to Kyoto, Japan to spend my exchange program there. Kyoto University of The Arts (KUAD at that time) gave me experience in a Japanese work environment and taught me Japanese work ethic as well as welcomed me to learn animation and fine arts alongside product design studies. I thrive in a creative workplace and I always want people to feel comfortable exchanging ideas and feedback on projects. I am a person, who is often cheering and throwing supporting comments to keep up a good spirit when somebody feels down. I think contributing to the positive work atmosphere will increase the productivity and well-being of everybody. I speak fluently 3 languages: Finnish, Russian and English as well as some Swedish. I know how to use a wide variety of Adobe software, especially Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. In the next step in my career, I want to continue improving my skills in the 3D Modelling department, I feel like it would expand my skillset to a new height. I constantly learn and improve. I do not afraid of an uphill battle and I more than welcome challenges into my professional growth!
