Hey! I’m Michael Claessens
A freelance animator and designer based in Mechelen, Belgium.


With over 10 years of experience in motion design, animation, and e-learning, I help brands, agencies, and educators tell their stories in a clear, engaging, and visually creative way. Whether it’s animating a product video, building an interactive learning module,
or creating a looping 3D animation,

I love turning ideas into eye-catching visuals.

I’m also really into music, film, and everything visual — which inspires a lot of the work I do.

I aim for high quality in every project, but I also try to keep the process down-to-earth, clear, and enjoyable.

Tools I Work With

  • Animation & Motion Design: After Effects, Blender

  • Graphic Design: Illustrator, Photoshop

  • Editing & Color: DaVinci Resolve

  • Interactive Installations: TouchDesigner, ThreeJS

  • E-learning Development: Articulate Storyline

  • Languages: Dutch (native), English (fluent)
