Hi there!
My name is Jussi-Petteri Kemppainen, and I have been working in the industry for over 24 years as a game designer, director, 3D artist, VFX artist and a colourist.

Currently, I’m the Visual Effects Lead at Mainframe Industries, working on a social sandbox MMO Pax Dei.
Prior to my work at Mainframe, I had the honor to direct a strategy combat game that was published by Daedalic Entertainment and won the Creative Achievement of the Year award at the 2020 Finnish Game Awards.
I have also had the opportunity to work with some of the best companies in the gaming industry, including Remedy, Supercell, RedLynx, and Rovio Animation Studio (which I co-founded).
In addition to my work in games, I have also found success as a music video and advertisement director and I’ve received several awards for my work in this field. I’m especially proud of the ad I directed for Nokia, which was shortlisted at Cannes in 2008. I also had the incredible opportunity to direct an ad that was filmed in space aboard the International Space Station!
When I’m not pursuing my passion for creative work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters in our charming 80-year-old home in Tampere, Finland, which we are constantly renovating to make our own.
