About me

Hello, I am Marion, currently working as a 3D Animator in Vancouver, Canada.
Growing up in Germany I was reading tons of fantasy books and comics, watching cartoons, drawing lots and playing too many computer games. After graduating from The Animation Workshop in Denmark with my Bachelorfilm "Parrot Away", I moved to London to animate on VFX & Feature Animation films as well as commercials for a total of 10 years, before spending 5 months in Paris on Arcane Season 2.
My passions are drawing, painting, dancing and acting. While travelling I sometimes like to create small travel films and I am also a fan of musicals, French pastries, getting to know new people and hugging trees :)
