I'm a freelance motion designer / animator from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. With a decade of experience I design refined visuals and forward-thinking motion for ambitious stories and products.

My work is rooted in a profound understanding of the client's vision. This essential information offers the base of a design that not only connects with the audience on an emotional level, but also offers strategic communication. Feel free to drop me a line to discuss the possibilities. I'd be happy to work together!
