I help you achieve amazing results with animated video!

ABOUT ME

After my Bachelor of Arts and Technology at the Utrecht School of Arts (HKU), I discovered my true passion - merging art, technology and storytelling.

As a passionate motion designer and animator based in Amsterdam, I love bringing stories to life through animation.

Producing animated videos with clear, impactful messages is what drives me, and I’m dedicated to making each project not just successful but memorable.

With a unique blend of creativity, production expertise, and project management skills, I thrive on seamless collaboration, clear communication, quick responsiveness, and going the extra mile to deliver work that’s on time, within budget, and beyond expectations =)

I take on freelance studio bookings for (2D & 3D) animation, illustration and art direction.

ANIMATION BENEFITS

CAPTURES ATTENTION
Animation has a visual appeal that grabs your audience's attention instantly, ensuring your message doesn’t go unnoticed.
SIMPLIFIES COMPLEX IDEAS
What’s hard to explain in text becomes easy to understand with visuals, symbols, and metaphors.
CREATIVE FREEDOM
Animation allows you to present your message in a unique and imaginative way, with no limits on style or setting.
HIGHER ENGAGEMENT
The dynamic nature of animation keeps viewers hooked, leading to higher engagement and more social media shares.
APPEALS TO ALL AUDIENCES
Animations are versatile and can connect with a wide range of audiences, regardless of age or background.
STRENGTHENS BRAND IDENTITY
A well-crafted animation reinforces your brand story and presents your identity in a memorable, visual way.
COST-EFFECTIVE
Compared to live-action videos, animations are often more affordable to produce, as they don’t require expensive sets or actors.
LASTING IMPACT
Animation tends to stick in the viewer's memory, increasing the chances they'll take action or recall your message later.

WHY ME

STRATEGIC
Before we begin, I take the time to understand how the video can best align with your marketing or communication strategy. With my broad background in marketing and communication, I’m able to easily dive into challenges across various industries. This allows me to quickly get to the core of the proposition and expertly translate it into a clear, effective animation video.
AFFORDABLE
My mission is simple: To create high-quality engaging explainer videos at an affordable price. By working smart and efficient, I skip the expensive and time-consuming steps, delivering exceptional results without the extra cost. I love collaborating within your brand guidelines or design documents to ensure the final video perfectly reflects your identity. The result? Unique, custom-made animation videos in various styles that are both budget-friendly and top-notch.
TRANSPARENT
Once the script is ready and we’ve nailed down the length of the animation, I’ll provide a clear and straightforward quote—no surprises.
UNLIMITED REVISIONS
I’ll keep working until you’re completely satisfied. I am always happy to invest in building strong relationships with my clients.
SERVICE
I love getting involved early in video projects to help shape the video strategy from the start. And my commitment doesn’t stop once the video is delivered—I’m always here to help clients get the most out of their explainer video.

PRODUCTION PROCES IN 8 STEPS:

1. IDEA
It all starts with an idea. Together we discuss the goal and the video ideas during an introductory meeting. In this conversation we will identify what the core message and who the targetgroup of the video is. This first step is completely without any obligations and free of charge.

▽

2. SCRIPT
Next the video script. The input for this comes from you, where in most cases I will write the actual script. In practice, the rule is 140 words = 1 minute of film. Only after a final approval on the script we go to step 3.

▽

3. VOICE-OVER (optional)
Step 3 is to record the voice-over by a professional voice actor in any desired language and tone of voice. The audio file is most of the time the guiding principle of the film in terms of pace and timing.

▽

4. MUSIC (optional)
The music could also serve as a guideline for the video in terms of pace and timing. In this case the music dictates the rythm of the video as a whole. This is a choice. We could also add a subtle background piece at the end of the proces.

▽

5. BRIEFING
During this dynamic (online) appointment we will dive deep into your story and I will present the first visual ideas based on the script. We will repeat this step until we got your story right!

▽

6. STORYBOARD
In this step the storyboard is created. This is a static representation of the intended video and style. We will discuss the storyboard again in a meeting and process any feedback. For the 3D animations I will use this phase to present 3D designs and animatics.

▽

7. ANIMATION
This is where the magic happens. The storyboard, art boards, 3D models (and/or animatic) are brought to life by taking care of each and every keyframe.

▽

8. DELIVERY
You will have an unlimited amount of revision rounds. I won’t stop until you are completely satisfied with the end product. The final version can be delivered in any desired format.
