I'm a jack-of-all-trades digital designer based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
I make my living as a freelance motion-graphic- and 3D designer for advertising agencies, and I have a background in interaction design.

PlasticTolstoy.com is my awesome new company. You can see the works on it's official site, or on it's Vimeo, Behance and Flickr pages. It also has a Facebook and Twitter page where I post thoughts and little things in progress.

Via advertising agencies like Euro RSCG 4D, Ogilvy, and Media Republic, I have worked for clients like Philips, Samsung, Unilever, Volvo, Peugeot, Adidas, Lipton, AXE, and KPN.
