Hi and moin!
I am Verena, a Hamburg based freelance motion designer and illustrator specialized in digital 2D techniques.
I love to create flat vector illustrations or to draw on my beloved iPad in a less clean style. It's always fun to animate my illustrations afterwards and bring them to life. :)
You can book me for any kind of illustration and digital 2D animation (including storyboarding & animatic). Let's work together!
