About

My name is Ryan Mirtle, but most people in the creative world know me as Mirtsauce. I’m a 3D and visual effects artist based in Edmonton, Alberta, and I love creating cinematic visuals that bring together music, motion, and storytelling.

I’ve worked across video editing, motion graphics, and photography, and I’m always trying out new tools and techniques to see where they take me. Whether it’s visuals for a live show or an animation built in Blender, I’m drawn to work that feels atmospheric and expressive.

Right now, I’m open to freelance projects and full-time opportunities. I’m especially interested in getting more involved in game design and collaborating on projects that push creative boundaries.
