Hire Me
Greetings! I'm Mariia, an independent 3D animator. My educational journey includes studying at the Filmakademie in Germany, as well as participating in a student exchange program at the Animation Workshop in Denmark and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Throughout my career, I have garnered valuable experience by contributing to feature film and episodic projects at Pixomondo and Mackevision. I have also had the privilege of working on advertising campaigns with Woodblock, BCN, and Swiss, and creating animations for games at Caleidoscube.

Creating captivating characters is a particular aspect of animation that fills me with immense joy. Through animation, I am able to breathe life into these characters, allowing me to narrate compelling stories through my artistic work.

Beyond my animation skills, I am fueled by a passion for outdoor activities such as trekking, mountaineering, running, swimming, biking, and bouldering. Additionally, I am a devoted advocate for plant-based cooking. I am genuinely thrilled to collaborate with new teams.
