About
Lena

©Dominik Reiland
Lena (*1998, Vienna) works as a motion designer and illustrator.

After completing a two-year program in graphic and communication design, her interest in collaboration with filmmakers was sparked during the interdisciplinary Bachelor’s program ‘MultiMediaArt’ at the University of Applied Sciences Salzburg. An internship at the Munich media agency Trailerhaus ONAIR confirmed her desire to put her design skills at the service of the art of filmmaking. Lena has been studying Motion Design at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg since September 2022. She passionately conceives and designs music videos, intros, posters, and covers, and explores art, philosophy, poetry, and stories about people from all walks of life.
