In need of a spell-casting wizard? An explosives expert? A hologram specialist? Or perhaps just someone who could give you a little spark to light a match on fire?


If any of those things is what you are looking for you have come to the right place, for I am the gal for the job.


Let me introduce myself.

Hello there!
My name is Anastasia Johansson, and I am a Technical Artist student enrolled at The Game Assembly's Technical Artist program in Malmö. My journey into the games industry began with me as a little kid loving to draw and paint, which then developed into a habit of tinkering with games, trying to understand what made them tick and why they looked the way they did. I pursued an education at LBS Kreativa Gymnasiet in Trollhättan where I studied Game Art. Since graduating from LBS, I pursued higher education at PlaygroundSquad, deepening my knowledge and understanding of the field of Game Art itself and the inner workings of the games industry. During my time at PSQ I fell in love with cinematography & lighting, which then led me to specializing myself in the art of visual effects and shaders.


In the pursuit for new experiences and challenges, I delved into the world of Technical Art and began a deep dive into Houdini to focus on VFX optimization, shader profiling, and learning a little bit of HLSL to push my VFX & problem solving skills beyond my limits. My goal and current focus is learning how to make captivating effects while maintaining the highest performance possible.
