Biography
Hello!
I'm Maria, from Portugal, but living in Slovenia.
I'm 32, have been working as a rigger mainly for games, but have also participated in some very cool shorts so I could improve my video rigging skills as well.
My favorite thing about rigging is that it is a mix of art and tech. I honestly also enjoy the collaboration, having to speak with a bunch of people from different pipeline steps.
In my free time, which nowadays doesn't feel like enough, I mainly read 📚️ also enjoy photography 📷️
I have part of my portfolio here, but if you want to see more in depth, you can check my ArtStation here: Maria's ArtStation
(also, my portfolio is also being updated at the moment)
Thank you1

Work Experience
2021 – 2026
Rigger
Outfit7 (Ljubljana, Slovenia)
Throughout my time at Outfit7, I worked on a lot of games, from costumes to props to animals and characters.
A lot of work on how to do the most optimized rigs while being able to achieve the best results. There was also a lot of documentation and collaboration with both concept, modelers, animators and developers.
Worked on basically all the games, quite a few times as the main rigger. Also took care of importing assets into unity/starlite (outfit's own engine), testing and updating it.
