Hello, I’m Uli. I’m a freelance creative director, animator and illustrator.
I enjoy being part of the whole creative process — from developing concepts in close collaboration with my clients to designing and storyboarding and eventually bringing the concept to life by using different types of animation techniques.
I like to interpret things in new ways, find visual metaphors not seen before and to add character to the most abstract things.
Over the years, I have worked on a broad range of animation projects, graphical illustrations and interactive projects for clients that vary from NGO’s to advertising agencies, from small to big companies or simply for myself.
Whether you are looking for someone to produce your new engaging explainer, develop a motion branding or simply someone to be part of your production team, feel free to get in touch with me.
