Hi!
My name is Maria and I am a 2D animator, clean-up artist, illustrator and character designer with a broad experience in commercials, features, TV and games.
I am a curious creature who place great importance on working with fellow passionate people on exciting projects. I strongly believe in maintaining a positive and professional work environment and eager to explore new challenges.
If you find my work intriguing, feel free to contact me via email: sandvig.maria@gmail.com
I have been fortunate to team up with studios like Sun Creature, The Line Animation, Nexus Studio, Rumpus Animation, Kingdom of Something and Copenhagen Bombay and have contributed to a variety of projects for brands such as Cartoon Network, Marvel, Supercell, Gorillaz Productions, Riot Games and many others.
