About

Greetings, I'm Aleksi Annola, creative enthusiast with a deep-seated passion for digital design and innovation. Originally from Tampere, I now call the vibrant city of Helsinki my home.

I'm captivated by the potential of 3D modeling, animation, video editing and game engines to create compelling, interactive experiences.

Outside of design, you can often find me at the gym or honing my billiard & skateboarding skills.

Project: Game Developer Valovirta Design · Job / Internship 5mo

Software used: Unity3D, Illustrator, Inkscape, Coding C# and Visual Scripting

I programmed this game from start to finish using Unity3D, with a strong focus on the Visual Scripting tool. The project involved implementing game mechanics based on provided graphical assets, creating an interactive experience where players construct and pay for ice cream using virtual coins. One of the key challenges I successfully tackled was designing and coding the functionality for players to practice making exact change with coins using a mouse or touch input.
