Hi, I'm Jakob Backlund, a passionate 3D artist and game developer based in Finland. Since 2024, I've been creating custom 3D models and assets for various clients, including work for the Roblox UGC Store where I design cosmetic items for avatars. I love collaborating closely with clients to make sure their vision comes to life through my designs. Currently, I'm pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Data Science at Helsinki University, while continuously expanding my skills in 3D modeling, animation, and game development. Participating in events like the Finnish Game Jam has also helped me hone my skills in a team setting and in creating engaging interactive content.
