"Oliver Zumstein is a professional, creative and talented 2D Artist and passionate User Interface Designer. I have worked with Oliver for about ten months on two different commercial products at Ubisoft / Blue Byte. The work he created was clear, concise and attractive, while still striking the balance to be also efficient and consistent. I can highly recommend Oliver as one of the best digital artists that I have had the pleasure to work with."
