The person behind Nimbly
Hi, I’m Ferdi Willemse, founder of Nimbly.
My passion for 3D animation and film began in 1998, during an open day at the school I would later attend in Rotterdam. From that moment, I kept developing my skills through self-study and practical experience. By the age of 23, this drive had taken me around the world for film projects. I worked as an independent professional at a film studio in the United States, and assignments took me to deserts, jungles and cities in Turkey, Armenia and Ecuador.
Over the years, I’ve contributed to a wide range of projects, including series, films and training materials for the aviation industry. My focus is on high-quality animation, film and visual effects that help tell compelling visual stories.
Alongside animation and film, I’ve been making games since 2004: from Java games for mobile phones and work at MAD Multimedia to my own Unity games from 2013. In 2016, I worked as a senior VR developer at Moyosa. I bring that experience to my own games at Nimbly.
I started flying model aircraft with my father when I was ten. He went on to become a commercial helicopter pilot. I later combined my own passion for flying with filmmaking, so you may also spot me working as a drone pilot above some beautiful locations.
I’ve worked independently since 2007, bringing enthusiasm to challenging projects. I look forward to bringing your idea to life, too.
