About me
Hi, I’m Valeriia—a graphic designer turned 3D animator. With four years of experience in graphic design, UX, branding, and advertising campaigns, I’ve had the chance to collaborate with clients such as eBay, Uber, Netflix, and Opendoor. I’m now completing the 3D Animation program at Seneca Polytechnic, specializing in character animation. My background in design gives me a sharp eye for detail and storytelling, while my growing expertise in Maya and Unreal Engine allows me to bring characters to life in dynamic and engaging ways. I’ve been building skills across rigging, modeling, lighting, animating, and storyboarding, and I’m excited to contribute to meaningful projects as part of a creative team—continuing to learn, grow, and create impactful work in the animation industry.
