Fons Schiedon. I am a designer, director and artist from the Netherlands, living in Berlin.
After graduating college in 2002 I established a company in Amsterdam providing illustration, graphic design and animation for clients such as MTV Asia, Nickelodeon, Submarinechannel, Esquire, Volkskrant Magazine and Park Avenue. This year (2008) I relocated to the German capital. And although I have not stopped working for clients, my primary focus for the moment is on personal work.
I’ve worked for commercial and cultural clients, on small and big projects. My approach is typically hands-on, meaning I’m comfortable taking on various tasks in a production process. Many of the projects I execute myself. But, I also enjoy working with people who know how to do things better than I can.
