Hi! I’m Elitza Podsendek. Multimedia Designer.
I’m a multidisciplinary designer based in Germany.
My work is often inspired by technology. I especially love 2D and 3D animation as well as interactive media, so this is pretty much what informs my body of work.
Trying out and learning new software is something I’m always happy to do. I love to stay up to date with industry trends and techniques.

about me
generalist
I work interdisciplinary as well as across different software packages in the field of art and design.
organisation
To me it is essential to consider the overall picture at all times in order to recognize problems at an early stage and thus to tackle them in a structured manner.
independence
I always carry out tasks assigned to me independently and responsibly, as far as the circumstances allow.
learning
I am a quick learner and can familiarize myself with new topics and software packages easily.
inquisitive
By visiting professional workshops, following tutorials, and working on my art skills and my design knowledge in my free time, I always keep up to date on current industry standards.
communication
Clear and honest communication is important both to me and for creating a trouble-free work environment with efficient workflows.
