About me
I have been working with After Effects, Cinema 4D and Premiere in a variety of settings for the last eight years. During this time I designed an array of title animations, openers and infographics. I love every aspect of motion design and the variety and possibilities it provides. So I'm doing 2D- and 3D-animations, title-sequences, infographics, logo creation, conception, direction, compositing, and post-production. Being charming and optimistic, it‘s easy for me working with all kinds of people. I am passionate and I like to learn new things. I am a first-class all-rounder and I learn the ropes quick. I love typography in every way, but especially in title animations. Originally from Switzerland I'm currently doing my MA in Moving Image at Ravensbourne, London.
