About

Portrait Torben Ratzlaff

Torben Ratzlaff

Freelance designer, artist and developer based in Hamburg Germany.

Approach

Interactive products require a fine tuned balance between design, art and development.

With my interdisciplinary experience I strive to make the most out of each of those fields, so the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

Skillset

Over the course of my career as a freelancer I worked with many different programms and languages and had to aquire new skills on the way.

Here I list those I feel comfortable with.
