Hello! My name is Ivalou Leveau Jensen, I am a Dane and I have been formed from creative madness for over 29 years. My creative journey really started after I finished High School in 2013, where I studied Physics and Maths.
I did different courses for the first 3 years before I began my Bachelor in 2016 in the UK.
My BA was in Stop-motion and Puppet making and I finished it in 2019. With the knowledge I gained, I try to form and express my own creative madness. I have already been working with the talented studio Wiredfly on a stop-motion / 3D feature, 'Folk og Røvere i Kardemomme by' (2023)
and with the amazing Camilla Kaufmann on the short stop-motion film "Buff Cops", where I was the leading animator.
Hobbies include cooking, felting, knitting, gaming, and yoga. And of course, I LOVE to watch movies! :)
