My name is Mirko Haenssgen, I'm 25 years old and I live in L.E. also known as Leipzig in Germany. I'm in the lucky position to earn my money with something I really like to do: Creating Computer Graphics.

I've been working in the game industry for more than six years starting as a trainee I now work fulltime at FAKT-Software in L.E. During my time as a freelancer I've been working together with Creature Factory, Firedance Games, Rocketbox Studios, Aixsponza and of course FAKT-Software to name a few. Some content of the projects I've been working on can be seen in the "3D Gallery" - Section.

From 2005 until 2010 I studied information technology with the main emphasis on digital media in Leipzig. I finished my studies successfully and have now a Master's degree of science with special expertise in media-management and e-learning. Though it wasn't always exactly what I wanted I've been learning a lot about the technical side of computer graphics. Now it's time to really focus on the art-side of it.

I have a broad knowledge of 3D and 2D graphic software like 3D Studio Max, ZBrush, 3D Coat, Photoshop, Silo, Cinema 4D and Maya. Since I studied IT I have also general programming skills which I like to use to simplify tasks in my everyday-work using MAX- or MEL-Script.

Though I really have a passion for digital art and design, it's important for me to have other interests like breakdancing, playing piano, or just sketching some ideas on paper. :)

If you want to know more feel free to get in touch with me or visit me on Facebook or Xing.

Best regards
