The Austrian developer and speaker discusses her passion for web animation.

Could you briefly introduce yourself to anyone who doesn’t know you?

I’m a creative developer from Austria; I create a lot of interactive, moving things on the web and love to combine technology with creative ideas. I’m also currently a lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences in Salzburg, Austria, where I lecture in the web development department. My lectures involve front-end development, design and data visualisation. I am slightly obsessed with animation and interactions on the web.

Why are you so passionate about web animation?

In general, our brains like to have concepts explained in a simple, understandable way and one way to do that is to use imagery and animations. On the web, we essentially have documents that give us information to read.
