I hopped on my current Archviz course at YRGO, Gothenburg, directly after my high school graduation last summer and my 19th birthday. But it was when I studied interior design for three years in high school that made me realize that I really wanted to work with something creative and something that allows me to express myself through creativity in different forms. With that said, I would like to say that I have always had an artistic vein.

When I saw a visualized image from a company in Gothenburg, the ability to build an entire environment myself in 3D and convey storytelling. It felt as if a whole world of possibilities was opening up.

I have always known that I wanted to work in the creative industry. Since childhood, I've had a passion for expressing myself through various art forms, and now I'm particularly drawn to the 3D world.

Ever since I was little I've said that I wanted to become an artist when I grew up. I've always held onto that dream, always sculpted, painted and sold some artwork on the side, but never managed to make traditional art my 9 to 5 job. So I started studying Computer graphics design at YRGO in Gothenburg, and now I truly know that 3D is what I want to spend the rest of my life doing!

Since I was a child ive always loved being creative butr never found a way to make it my profesion. I'm on my first year in computer graphics and I have never felt more sure about my choice in education.

My interest for CG started at a really young age. However it did take up until last year for me to decide to pursue my dreams.

Since the day I was born I've always gravitated towards being creative, started by making stop motions of my legos, to then going to film school and after that focusing on 3D animation

During my high school years I figured that my artistic side of me didn't get satisfied with the work I was doing. And since I've been interested in photography and videography for a as long as I can remember, I wanted to use those skills I've acquired during my time as a freelance photographer and branch out in the world of 3D.

I was working with CAD and construction but I felt the need to be more creative. My focus has always been on the technical part of the projects i have been involved in.

My curiosity and strong interest in design have had a big impact on me my whole life. It’s also a big reason why I choose to start my journey in ArcViz. I enjoy developing skills in all parts of life and this also applies to my Arcviz journey. It’s truly a dream come true to be abel to learn about this industri of creativity and hopefully some day work in it. I feel intrigued and excited to see where this road will lead me forward from here.

All my life I have had a creative mind. But I never knew how to best express it into the working aspect of life. I knew I wanted to do something that spoke to people, a bridge between art, mind and worklife. I wanted to be in a business that respects history, but delivers the future. A business that is curious and forward thinking.

With a bachelors in artistic design I discovered that my emplyment possibilities were quite low. A friend mentioned the school (YRGO, Gothenburg) where I now study, and I had just discovered 3D (Blender Guru and some 3D printing). Two years later and I'm a few days from graduation, and one week away from emplyment as a 3D general artist.

I am currently a computer graphics student from Taiwan based in Varberg, Sweden. My passion lies in procedural modeling, visual effects, lighting, and compositing. I am always open to new and different techniques or methods to achieve the final visual effects. Experimenting constantly and finding solutions is what I truly enjoy while working with various 3D programs.

Architecture and technology have always been a huge interest of mine, and getting to combine these two passions throughout the first year of my studies has been an amazing experience.

I have always been creative, and growing up I’ve used it to explore and solve problems. In high school was probably the first time I thought of creating as a possible career path, being inspired by Chip Foos´s car sketches, Grand Designs and overall game- and fanart on the web. In upper secondary school, I decided to commute to a neighboring city to read IT-Media. Work took me elsewhere but I felt something was lacking, and now I’m back on the creative path studying Architectural Visualization!

After practicing in an architectural firm , my interest grew more and more in this direction. Based on this and a background in technical gymnasium, I was determined to start my studies at Yrgo and Architectural Visualization. I am very keen to develop my skills within Visualization in order to present suggestions to prospective clients. After what I have studied so far, I am really convinced that I have found the right education, based on my future goals.

My interest in creating houses and buildings in 3d started during high school when we worked with Sketchup and CAD. I thought it was fun to be able to visualize the houses in a digital way. So when I found this education at YRGO I was excited. I had found my dream job. I think it's important to challenge yourself and that you always aim to develop your skills and strengths. Therefore I want to work with both interior/exterior design, infrastructure and landscape.

I've known it since I was a child but I didn't actually think it was possible until I got into my 30s . People used to say it was a bad idea to focus on art and that lead me to believe there was no way to make it as an artist and I started doing any odd job that would have me. Fast forward to 2023, I am now 32 years old and about the graduate a game artist program . Even though the industry is seemingly having a rough time at the moment I am very excited and eager to work creatively!

My name is Ida and I am currently studying Architectural visualization at YRGO in Gothenburg.

As long as I can remember. So far I have only devoted myself to creative professions and can never get enough of it.

Hi, my name is Emma Olsson. I come from a family that has been craftsmen for generations and that has been inspiring me. Early in life I saw the beauty in things and especially buildings and interior, I also learned to appreciate the hard work behind the craft. Architectural visualization has opened my eyes to a new world and I really feel like this is going to be my way to a profession I can appreciate every day.
