Available to hire
I’m Sathya Schlösser, a freelance illustrator and animator based in Nürnberg, Germany. Since 2015 I’ve been working as a full-time freelancer, creating explainer videos, music videos, motion graphics, GIFs, and animations for games, short films, trailers, and TV series. I love telling stories through images and movement and enjoy collaborating on children’s picture books as well as mural projects.
I also illustrate books and comics for children and young people since 2019, and run workshops on character design and 2D and stop-motion animation. In addition to my studio practice, I create murals and have exhibited internationally, including in Scotland and Portugal, combining art with public spaces to spark conversation and imagination.
