About Maarja

I have a decade of experience in costume design for theatre and in recent years I have been specializing in digital couture. I am a visiting lecturer in Estonian Art Academy, and as an artist, actively exhibiting in Paris and Europe. I am going to give you all the knowledge necessary to become an Artist with strong technical skill set. I guide students through the entire design journey—from mood boards and storytelling to digital sketches, 3D patterns, and photorealistic virtual garments. I can take your artistic ambitions even further, helping you visualize costumes in diverse environments and craft dynamic, creative fashion films. I will help you in developing a strong creative vision with advanced technical proficiency to bring ideas vividly to life. I genuinely enjoy working with people of all backgrounds and skill levels, and my favorite part of teaching is inspiring others while helping them navigate the complexities of 3D fashion. Whether you want to enhance your skills, learn new techniques, or get guidance on portfolio preparation and 3D software, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

About the lesson

Preparing your portfolio for fashion school? Or curious about 3D costume design from scratch? I’ll help you build skills step by step.

*Concept & Storytelling → moodboards, narrative, creative direction
*Sketching & Design → digital sketches and costume ideas (Photoshop and AI tools).
*3D Pattern & Virtual Garment → CLO3D step by step
*Advanced 3D Workflows → Cinema4D & Photoshop for rendering, CGI details, AI workflows
*Fashion Video Editing → Adobe After Effects for portfolio-ready presentations

Teaching style
I tailor each session to your goals — whether you’re a beginner or aiming for a professional portfolio. You’ll learn not only the software, but also how to think like a designer and tell stories through your digital garments.

Why learn with me?

*Strong mix of artistic + technical expertise
*Hands-on guidance across the whole creative pipeline
*Supportive teaching style to build both skills and confidence

Whether your goal is your first digital collection, a fashion portfolio, or advanced 3D storytelling, I’ll help you create it step by step.

I’ve always been hesitant about technology and never thought I could learn complex software like Photoshop, CLO or C4D. Marie completely changed that for me. She explained everything in a way that felt approachable and never overwhelming, and she encouraged me to use the software as a creative tool rather than just a technical one. I also enjoyed her creative approach to integrating AI tools into our workflows. As a hobbyist artist, I always dreamed of turning my passion into something more serious, but I lacked confidence. With her patient guidance, I not only learned the basics of digital fashion but also started to see myself as a real designer. She made me feel that digital tools are not a barrier but an extension of my creativity. Thanks to Marie, I finally believe I can make the jump from hobbyist to full-time artist

I came to Marie with only an initial interest in digital fashion and almost no technical skills. From the very first lesson, she guided me step by step — starting with storytelling and moodboards before moving on to digital sketching and eventually creating my first 3D garment in CLO. I also appreciated that she was able to connect everything to her deep background in theatre costume, which gave me a whole new perspective on design as visual storytelling rather than just software training.

She also helped me prepare my portfolio, giving detailed feedback and structure. Marie is patient, structured, and always had resources ready for me to explore between lessons. I also loved that she encouraged experimentation — it made me feel like I was developing my own artistic voice while learning the technical side. Thanks to her, I now feel confident navigating CLO, Photoshop, and even making simple edits in After Effects for presenting my projects.

I highly recommend Marie if you want not just to learn tools, but to really grow as an artist in digital fashion.
