Michael Kotapski - Interactive Designer
I am a web designer and flash developer based in the greater Cologne area in Germany. I have a passion for digital art, music, surfing and movies.
After studying graphic design at the Rhein-Sieg Art Academy in Hennef, Germany, and multimedia arts in Stuttgart, Germany, I have worked for several companies and design studios gaining international recognition with some of my online work, such as Detektiv Nali winning 27 web awards and listed on Macromedia's Flash showcase in 2004.
Since then I have worked for a variety of clients and projects across all different kind of sectors.
Moving to New Zealand was a major career move for me and working for the New Zealand Automobile Association in Auckland as a Web Designer and Flash Developer from 2008 to 2011 helped me gain international experience.
After relocating back to Germany in 2011 I have worked as an Art Director for braintags GmbH in Wllich, being responsible for clients like Bayer AG, Schlecker, boesner and others.
As I am always eager to learn new things I am now looking for a job that will challenge me to further apply and develop my skills and knowledge.
