Motion Designer,
Creative Producer
As a producer and designer, I have an extensive 20+ years of experience in the advertising and CGI/animation industry. With all these years comes knowledge, insight, wisdom, and a calm no-nonsense attitude.
I can describe myself as a highly communicative introvert. This means I'm great at collaborating with people, but I do my best thinking alone.
I never take things too seriously. I often try to make my points via humor and metaphor. Always full of curiosity, eager to learn new things, stimulated by art and new technology and always willing to serve the projects’ purpose.
Creative Producer
Managing teams, projects, resources, clients throughout the years. I have learned the vast majority of the processes involved in Animation, CG/VFX, and Design as well as having experience in developing new business opportunities.
Motion Designer
Having had the chance to creatively drive and influence projects from early stages in constant contact with clients and key creative teams. So far I've had the opportunity to work on 3D animation and motion-graphic design projects, for online and TV, but also many interactive projects, for online marketing.
Interaction Designer
Having a background in interactive media due to my study, along with my years of experience in online advertising, this gives me a valuable insight and understanding on how design and development processes for web sites, apps, and games work, and how to use resources efficiently.
I try to make a living combining what I love and what I find interesting. I love cinema, animation, video games, interesting documentaries, music, mind expanding books, intelligent comedy, cryptocurrency, NFTs, and my dog Moxie. Pro-tip: You really want me on your Trivial Pursuit team.

ABOUT HERT ZOLLNER
Formal
EDUCATION
I'm never done learning, and as an autodidact, I'm an eternal student in the school of life.
But I did actually start out with a formal education.

1999
In the mid-90s I applied to the Interaction Design course of the HKU, a media art-school in the Netherlands. During these 4 years, the internet exploded, which meant the study went through a major change of direction: from theoretical to more practical. Here I took my chance to go in the audiovisual multimedia direction and learned to work with software like Macromedia Director and Flash.
