Hert Zollner
FREELANCE CREATIVE PROJECT MANAGER
for Design, Digital, Motion, and AI projects
Hert helps agencies, studios, and companies bring ambitious creative projects from brief to delivery. What sets him apart: he spent years doing the creative work himself. From UI/UX design and interactive campaigns to motion graphics, 3D visualizations, and CGI commercials. And the other way around: even in those creative roles, he was always the one who brought structure and kept an overview. Not because it was in his job title, but because the complexity of the work called for it, and project managers often lacked the subject-matter insight to make the right decisions.
INTERACTION DESIGN
His career began at HKU Utrecht, where he studied Interaction Design during the dot-com boom. While fellow students dove into web development, he chose the combination of video, animation, and interactivity. He also spent much of that period working on graphic and print work, including a series of album covers—an experience that continues to inform his eye for composition and typography to this day.

Nowadays
01
Experienced every technological shift
From print to the internet, from Flash to motion, from 3D to AI, I’ve learned never to cling to one technology, but to adapt to whatever comes next.
02
From Creator to Manager to Hybrid
I started as a maker, became a manager, and found my strength in the combination: a project manager who understands what’s being made.
03
International experience, Dutch down-to-earth charm
Projects for agencies in Amsterdam, studios in the US, and brands in Switzerland, always with a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach.
