My name is Sadin. I have Balkan roots, spent my childhood in Italy, and I currently live in Salzburg, Austria. Artistically, I go by Sadd. Nickname given to me by Italian friends that I carry with pride.

 

I am a multidisciplinary designer specialized in visualization, animation, and digital design. I love transforming ideas into visual experiences that create connections. In 2025, I graduated from the HTBLuVA Salzburg Higher Federal Technical College of Graphics and Communication Design.

​

​During my graduation year, I completed a two-month internship at Black Panther Marketing Agency in Salzburg and continued working there as a Graphic Designer for an additional eight months. Some projects can be found here.

 

Giving myself titles is complicated. I simply prefer to say: I like to create. Since I was a child, I have always been fascinated by how things were made: movies, album covers, TV commercials, or banners around the city. I loved recording videos and editing them with bad phone apps. Those first edits were terrible, but they are exactly what brought me here.

​

My skills focus on:

Web & App Design, Visual / Illustration, Animation, Video & Image Editing, Branding.

 

At 14, I discovered Adobe After Effects and experimented with it as much as I could. Being able to finally bring my ideas to life through animation gave me a feeling that no other activity ever did. At 16, I started learning the fundamentals of photography, graphic design, and visual communication.

 

If someone asked me how I think, I would probably lie to avoid sounding crazy. Most of my ideas come as images, sometimes like flashbacks. Especially when I am outside, I constantly observe movement and composition. Maybe it’s because my eyes got used to interfaces like After Effects at a very young age. And if there is one thing that intensifies this way of thinking, it is definitely music. I connect lyrics, rhythms, and melodies with my personal experiences and with the ideas that come to my mind. From there, concepts are born and later become photos, videos, or other visual forms. 

​

What motivates me the most is the satisfaction of turning an idea into something real and seeing how people react to it. I like creating work that carries meaning for others. For me it´s important to receive honest feedback from the people who surround you and care about you. During the process of building my portfolio, I asked some of them to share their genuine opinions and you can read them here.
