Mat Bevel Company (MBC) began working with Florian Brinda in December 2020 to develop motion graphics the opening videos of The Universe Within. We absolutely could not have completed the project with Florian! He provided 80 hours of volunteer services to help us complete illustrations as the basis for the motion graphics you see in the first 20 lessons of Module 1: Corrugated Headgear.

Florian said, “Volunteering is my way of ‘giving something back’ and ‘making a contribution.’ I’m not able to donate significant amounts of money to good causes, but I can donate some of my time and my knowledge and skills. Volunteering is my way of supporting NGOs and non-profits whose work I consider important, trying to make a contribution to changing things and making the world a better place.

Florian Brinda is a multimedia designer and illustrator who lives with his family in Vienna, the capital of Austria. He studied sound engineering and worked as an event engineer for several years, but when his boys were born, he decided to transition to a career that would also allow him to spend more time with his family. He took a 1-year course and became a multimedia designer. Currently, he designs information materials for a company that trains doctors’ assistants. In his leisure time, he enjoys spending time with his two boys, going for a run and making music.

Florian decided to work with MBC because he thinks it’s really important to spark the creativity of kids and to get them interested in science, engineering and technology.

He said, “I am very happy to be able to support MBC’s The Universe Within program with my illustrations. I really enjoy finding creative solutions that help kids understand aspects of science.”

Thanks you, Florian! We appreciate all that you give to kids and good causes.
