Available to hire
Hi, I’m Maario Pajumäe, a multidisciplinary 3D artist, designer and modeler based in Helsinki. I enjoy turning ideas into tangible visuals and practical designs, from furniture pieces to architectural visualizations, and I collaborate with teams to create sustainable, real-world solutions.
I bring over a decade of hands-on experience with tools like Blender, Unreal Engine, ArchiCAD, AutoCAD and SketchUp, delivering photorealistic renderings, 3D models and design systems. My work spans furniture restoration, architecture projects, hospitality venues, and public art, always aiming for high craft and user-friendly outcomes.
