I have been working as a web designer for almost 20 years. I started with Flash and then developed into a “classic” web designer. I’ve worked on hundreds of websites from basic HTML, PHP, CSS and JS to CMS like Typo3, WordPress, Webflow, Joomla, Kirby, Weebly and Magento, Prestashop, Shopware, WooCommere. In addition to companies and sole traders, I regularly work with agencies.<\/p>

My clients include IT companies, hotels, theaters, restaurants, car manufacturers, film productions, start-ups, insurance companies and many more. In addition to the Adobe Suite programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, After Effects and Premiere, I also work with Cinema 4d, Blender, Otoy Octane, Daz3d, Unreal engine and Substance Painter.<\/p>

Motion design and 3D is more than just a passion and part of my work and my websites.<\/p>

Exactly, that’s what distinguishes me from the classic web designer:<\/p>

I mix classic web design with animations and 3D elements to create an extraordinary user experience.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
