I am Markus Feder, Art Director and Motion Designer based in Munich.
I help clients communicate their ideas and present their content across all forms of digital media. Each project is unique — I adapt my approach to fit its specific needs, always focusing on originality and impact. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with studios around the world, creating work for a wide range of brands and industries.
I am driven by abstraction, layering and process and obsessed with motion in architectural context and patterns.
Feel free to get in touch — people say I’m fun to talk with!
