Hert Zollner

Freelance Creative Project Manager

for Design, Digital, Motion, and AI projects

Introduction

Creative vision.

Technical insight.

Concrete results.

Ambitious creative projects deserve someone who understands both the creative and production sides. As a Creative Project Manager (also sometimes called a Producer), I help agencies and studios in the Netherlands and across Europe when they need temporary support. Whether it’s digital campaigns, design, motion graphics, animation, branded content, or AI-driven production.

What sets me apart from most project managers is that I’ve spent years doing the creative work myself. From UI/UX design and interactive campaigns to motion graphics and 3D visualizations. I speak the language of designers, developers, animators, and clients, and I help translate between those worlds. That means realistic schedules, budgets without costly surprises, and a project manager who understands what’s happening on the ground.

With a track record of award-winning digital campaigns, international productions, and two studios I built myself, I bring hands-on experience and a broad network of specialists across the Netherlands and Europe.

MY EXPERTISE

Years of experience in creative production, combined with a strong network in the Netherlands and Europe. I turn creative dreams into realistic plans, spot scope creep and deadline stress before they arise, and know exactly which people and studios fit which projects. From UI/UX design and digital campaigns to motion graphics and CGI, it’s this combination of hands-on creative experience, technical insight, and human connections that makes the difference.
