Hi!

Illustration and Animation.

See text about me below image.

Hi, I love illustrating!
I have always done so and have even won art scholarships and prizes for it. I actually think very few people know that? ..
I've come to also animate, because, try and stop me - it's so much fun! - And how cool is it to bring life to your own strokes?!
Next up, 3D and creative code.

That's why I'm aiming everything at entering the Interactive Design course at DMJX. Fingers crossed! Meanwhile, I am looking for a job or a student job, where I can hopefully help someone bring life to their visuals. Either with animation, illustration or design.

Maybe you're thinking: But hey Maikie, you're not 20 years old. Nope! When I applied to design school, some time ago, and did not get in, I thought: why don't I learn how to sell all the creative stuff I am going to do, and so I took a BA in media production and management. At the same time, I took in all the creative work I could get my hands on. Social graphics, digital banners, outdoor posters for Trident, responsibility for several Coca Cola brands web visuals. It even came to a visual identity for McDonald's breakfast line and a children's book for Ford. I have learned a lot from my marketing jobs, where my curiosity has taught me most things. I was good at it and often led the course of actions, but it's hard to ignore a heart beating to really get started with it's passion.

So yes, I'm probably a little older than most who apply to school and student work, but I've tried doing something else for work, and now it's time for me to do, what I long to do.

I am looking for positions within animation, design and illustration and I am fine starting as a junior or student.

Lots of cheers and love to all who supports dreams. I'm backing you up too. And huge hugs for being with me so far, on my long read.
