About

Hey, I’m Patrick Zimmermann.

I am a 3D Motion and Sound Designer based in Hagen, Germany, focusing on visual storytelling, design-driven animation and technical 3D workflows.
Working with Cinema 4D, Houdini, Redshift|Octane, After Effects and audio production, I create immersive audiovisual experiences for advertising, campaigns and digital media.

After earning a B.Mus. in Integrative Composition from Folkwang University of the Arts,
I began freelancing with agencies and creative teams — producing work that bridges design, animation and sound.
My growing passion for 3D led me to pursue an M.A. in Professional Media Creation with a focus on 3D animation and VFX, continuing my freelance work alongside.

Currently, I am part of the 3D team at Aixsponza, focusing on animation, simulation and look development for international clients.

Let’s create together!
