WOLUME.TV / WOL Creative Studio

Motion Designer

2017 - 2021
  • I started as a junior in a team of passionate, like-minded young people.
  • We worked intensely — to the point where I sometimes crashed at the office and slept on the floor 🫠.
  • In the final stages of the studio, my role expanded to include organizational tasks, supervision, client communication, mentoring juniors, and hands-on graphic design work.
  • The studio eventually closed in the aftermath of COVID, weighed down by loss-making long-term projects and some unfortunate strategic decisions.
