I’m Sean Ziethen, an Art Director and Visual Artist working across film, animation, immersive experiences and design education.

Biography and portrait to be added.

BIOGRAPHY

My work sits between disciplines rather than inside one single specialised category. Depending on the project, that may mean developing a visual concept, drawing a storyboard, painting an environment, building a 3D scene, directing a visual language or helping translate an idea into motion.

After studying Media Design and working for several years in agency environments, I began working independently in 2019.

Since then, I have contributed to projects ranging from feature films and international automotive launches to immersive brand experiences, advertising campaigns, games and original illustration projects.

What connects these different formats is an interest in visual storytelling: how composition, movement, environment and design can turn an abstract idea into something an audience immediately understands and feels.

Alongside production work, I teach Motion Design and visual storytelling.

Teaching has strengthened the way I articulate creative decisions and has made the exchange between professional practice and education an important part of my work.

Today I work with agencies, studios, production companies and clients while continuing to develop original projects and teach future designers.
