What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can grow my skills, learn new things, be creative, have fun and help technical problem solving.

I'm Tanja Taivula Välimaa, a technical artist with skills in graphics, animations, programming, Unreal engine, innovation and VR applications.

I have helped out to visualize what a city's digital twin can be used in different types of companies, and users that would need it, and participate in creating events around it in Virtual Gothenburg Lab.

I have worked a lot with presenting Virtual Reality to people form all ages and professions, holding in groups, and events. I have talked to people about different types of VR headset, what VR can be used for and psychological aspects for it.

I have had my two Internship courses here. I have mainly had two VR
projects that I worked independently in. One of the projects is a
prototype tool that filmmakers should be able to use to see how the film
will look in a specific location. The second project has been a copy of their
premises so that they can present themself and the company by using VR.
