About me

From self-taught hobbyist 2D animator to 3D Art & Animation student

Ioana Marian

Hi there! My name is Ioana, and I am a 24 year old artist with a passion for all things related to art and animation. I live in Stuttgart, Germany, and have always been drawn to creative work.


In 2013, I discovered a new hobby; frame-by-frame animation, which I created for my YouTube channel and continued for several years, alongside digital art. Over time, my interest in 2D animation expanded into 3D animation. After earning my university entrance qualification (Fachabitur in German), I decided to study 3D Game Art and Animation at SAE Institute Stuttgart.


During my time at the institute, I developed a wide range of skills, including sculpting, modeling, 3D animation, blueprinting, rigging, and more. This deepened my passion for the 3D field. While I particularly enjoyed sculpting and editing cinematics in Unreal Engine, I eventually realized that my true passion lies in animation.


Currently, I am dedicated to refining my animation skills, striving to perfect them and bring my artistic vision to life.
