DPAbout Danilo
I’m Danilo, a creative motion designer with strong experience across finance, professional services, energy, tech start-ups and advertising. I focus on crafting motion that feels intentional, engaging and polished whether it’s for product storytelling, brand campaigns or digital experiences.
My skill set covers both 2D and 3D motion design. On the 3D side, I create product visualisations, CGI sequences, product renderings and 3D animations that help clients explain ideas, launch products or elevate their brand.
On the 2D side, I design and animate full motion pieces, typography-driven content, brand animations and explainer videos. I enjoy switching between both worlds, choosing whatever medium best serves the story.
I work end-to-end: ideation, concept development, style exploration, animation, rendering and final delivery. I also support UI motion design, micro-interactions and motion systems including interactive prototypes using Rive, helping teams create interfaces that feel smooth, expressive and purposeful.
I’ve collaborated with small start-ups and global organisations, and I understand the expectations around clarity, reliability and craft that clients in the German and wider European market look for.
If you need a motion designer who can handle 2D, 3D and UI animation, and who can take a project from the first idea to a final polished piece, I’d be happy to help bring your product or story to life.
