Présentation
I am Maarja (artist name: Marie von Voxel) — a costume designer and 3D artist with over a decade of experience in theatre costume and a recent focus on digital couture. I am a visiting lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts and exhibit my work across Europe. I combine a strong practical production background with contemporary digital workflows to help students turn ideas into finished garments and visual stories.

What I teach
• Concept & storytelling — moodboards, narrative and creative direction.
• Sketching & design — digital sketching, Photoshop and AI-assisted ideation.
• 3D patterning & virtual garments — step-by-step CLO3D workflows.
• Advanced 3D pipelines — Cinema4D, Photoshop for photoreal rendering and CGI details.
• Fashion presentation — editing and motion techniques to create portfolio-ready video reels (After Effects).

Teaching style
I tailor every lesson to your goals and level — from focused technique sessions to full portfolio projects. My approach balances creative exploration with hands-on technical guidance so you not only learn software, but also how to think like a designer and tell stories through garments. I work patiently and practically, helping you build confidence and professional-ready work.

For young learners (kids & beginners)
I run playful, project-based classes for children who love costumes, crafts and fashion. Lessons introduce basic fashion sketching and simple sewing (hand and machine) using age-appropriate projects like accessories, simple vests or decorative patches. The emphasis is on creativity, safety, and visible progress: each class is designed so a child finishes with a small handmade piece and renewed enthusiasm for design. In addition, I also teach young students digital fashion in an art school setting, preparing them to become the next generation of designers. I keep explanations simple, encourage experimentation, and offer gentle technical instruction so young students feel proud and motivated.

Why learn with me
• A rare mix of artistic vision and technical expertise.
• Hands-on guidance across the whole creative pipeline — from concept to finished artifact.
• Flexible lessons for hobbyists, aspiring professionals, and kids who want a friendly, creative start.

Whether you want an advanced digital collection, portfolio coaching, or a fun, practical introduction to sewing and fashion for a child, I’ll support you step by step. Send me a message about your goals and we’ll plan the best next lesson.

Portfolio Preparation for Fashion with Marie von Voxel
Digital Costume Designer & 3D Artist | Visiting Lecturer in 3D | Exhibiting Artist

Are you preparing a portfolio to apply for a degree in fashion or costume design? I’ll help you build a clear, compelling portfolio that showcases your creative voice and technical potential.

With over a decade of professional experience in theatre costume and a recent specialization in digital couture, I teach portfolio development the way schools expect it: concept-led, visually strong, and technically confident. As a visiting lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts and an exhibiting artist across Europe, I combine artistic direction with practical skills so your work reads as professional and original.

What we’ll work on

Concept & Storytelling: develop a coherent narrative and creative direction for your collection (moodboards, themes, visual research).

Sketching & Visuals: improve your drawing and digital sketching (Photoshop, Procreate workflows, AI-assisted ideation) to present polished looks.

3D & Technical Skills: translate ideas into virtual garments with CLO3D — patterns, fitting, and realistic digital samples.

Advanced Presentation: photoreal renders, motion/video reels, and portfolio layout (Cinema4D, Photoshop, After Effects).

Admissions Prep: portfolio sequencing, written artist statements, CV guidance, and mock admissions interviews in a professional context.

Who this is for

High-school students aiming for competitive fashion programs.

Aspiring designers who want a portfolio that balances creativity with technical evidence.

Students who use Procreate or Photoshop and want to add convincing 3D work to their application.

Why study with me

Rare combination of theatrical costume practice and cutting-edge digital couture.

Hands-on, project-driven lessons tailored to admissions criteria and jury expectations.

Practical support: I help translate and polish your portfolio text, advise on CV/content for applications, and run mock reviews to sharpen your presentation.
