Hi, I'm Jiri Tuomaala, a visual artist and 3D generalist with 8+ years of experience delivering high-quality CG for my own studio, freelance projects, and personal experiments. I enjoy turning ideas into polished visuals—from concept to final render—and I thrive on solving creative and technical challenges. I can handle large productions solo or collaborate with teams, and I regularly work with business clients to deliver visuals within budgets and deadlines. I’m comfortable across pre-production, production, and post-production, and I love blending CGI with storytelling to create engaging visual experiences.
