Oh Hello! My name is Marina Nakagawa.
I’m a freelance 3D artist, motion designer based in London, from Japan.
I love cute characters, fun animation and just love rendering the cute things in my brain. I also love cooking, baking, eating, watching movies, coffee, all fluffy animals and not so fluffy animals.
After I moved to London, I worked at 2 studios and started my journey as a freelance in 2019. Since then, I was lucky enough to work on amazing projects from making music videos for musicians, creating social content, website animations, stickers for big game titles and TV ads…just to name a few.
ロンドンをベースに活動するモーションデザイナー、アニメーター。慶應義塾大学環境情報学部卒。日本のTVCM制作会社、クリエイティブエージェンシーでの勤務を経て2016年に渡英。ロンドンのスタジオでの経験を積んだ後、2019年にフリーランスとして独立。現在はイギリス、アメリカ、日本のクライアントをメインに仕事をしつつ、かわいいキャラクターや変なアニメーションを作っています。

Software I use
Cinema4D - It’s my primal 3D software. I use it for modeling, texturing, rigging, animating, and more. I use Redshift for rendering.
Substance Painter - I use it for making materials,
Zbrush - I use it for adding detail to my model.
Blender - I’m still learning but I use it for modeling, UV unwrapping, rigging, and rendering.
Other than that, I use After Effect, Photoshop, and Illustrator daily. I also use Premiere sometimes for editing.
