ABOUT ME
My name is Silke Agnethe Svanenklink Kähler. I am a highly motivated 3D Artist with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Graphics Art from The Animation Workshop in Viborg and 5 years of experience in the industry.
​
I specialize in CG development for various use cases and platforms such as animation, VFX and games for mobile devices, headsets, PC, and IOS. My primary focus in my career has been on rigging, optimization, automating workflows and producing appealing 3D art.
With a strong background in classical drawing, 3D modeling, texturing, shading, lighting, rigging, and optimization, I possess the skills necessary to bring any project to life. I am deeply committed to delivering great work while collaborating effectively with team members to achieve project goals within specified timelines and budget constraints while having a blast doing so.
