From Studying Design To Becoming A Self Taught Motion Designer.
From Studying Design To Becoming A Self Taught Motion Designer.
Hey, I'm Dirk, a Freelance Motion Designer with a multidisciplinary design background. ♥
Always learning.
I remember first opening Photoshop 7.0 back in 2004. Who would've thought over 20 years later it would've turned into a career? Along the way, I studied Multimedia & Design Communication, worked as a Print Designer, a UI designer, and eventually, turned to the life of a Freelance Motion Designer.
Over the years, I've had the pleasure to work with some great agencies and clients, learning from talented people and getting better at what I do.
These days, I work with design agencies around the world, helping them deliver on tight deadlines with attention to detail.
