(01)About

Hi, I'm Finnian.I design things that move — and write the code that moves them.

I'm a software developer and motion graphics designer from Maria Enzersdorf, just outside Vienna. I work at the exact point where a design file becomes a living thing: interfaces, animation, and those tiny transitions that make software feel kind.

I learned to code because my designs wanted to move. I learned to animate because my code wanted to feel something. Today I do both — and I spend an unreasonable amount of time on easing curves.

What I do

01

Design

Web design and human interface design — layouts, typography, systems, and the unglamorous decisions in between.

  • Web design
  • Human Interface
  • UX
  • Typography
02

Motion

Motion graphics, animation and UI transitions that explain instead of decorate.

  • Motion graphics
  • Animation
  • UI motion
  • Easing
03

Code

Apps and websites, from the first pixel to the last line — native with Swift, everything else with Java, PHP, JavaScript and CSS.

How I work

  1. 01

    Listen

    What should people feel? Everything starts there.

  2. 02

    Sketch

    Fast, rough, on paper and in Figma. Many bad ideas, early.

  3. 03

    Move

    Prototype the motion before polishing the pixels.

  4. 04

    Build

    Real code, real data, real devices.

  5. 05

    Polish

    The last two percent. Frame by frame.

Questions

Yes — studios, startups and people with slightly strange ideas. Interface design, motion, front-end development, or the whole thing end to end.

Maria Enzersdorf, just south of Vienna, Austria. I work with people everywhere — remote is normal, coffee in Vienna is a bonus.

English and German. Code in Swift, Java, PHP, JavaScript and CSS. Motion in curves.

A rough idea, a reason why, and ideally a deadline. Write me a few sentences — that's enough for a first conversation.

Have something fragile to build?

Interfaces, motion, code — or all three. I reply within two working days.
