About

I’m Harold Houdijk, a motion designer and founder of Asteroids, based in Rotterdam. Since 2002 I’ve worked as a freelance designer, delivering visuals for brands, events and digital experiences, collaborating with acts like Tiësto and Marco V, and earning the Golden Gnome for Best VJ in 2003.

In addition to client work, I explore the interplay between form, color, movement and emotion through autonomous work, guided by intuition and experimentation. From 2017 to 2019 I also taught Audiovisual Design & Transformation Design at the Willem de Kooning Academy.
