Anselm Dästner’s Summary

Ansikun a.k.a. BOYZandGIRLS is based in New York City and does Graphic Design, User Interfaces, and Motion Broadcast Design. Founded in 1996 my international achievements include creation and design of promotions for New York's and Tokyo's greatest nightclubs and record labels.
From 1998 to 2003 we published the monthly club guide "flyer".

In 1996 I designed which could had been the first DVD with Jeff Stabenau (it was a Samsung DVD promotion for it's sales staff). Since then we have worked together on thousands of DVD and Blu-ray movies and games.

I am interested in freelance design work for Broadcast and Music entertainment companies.
