Cynthia Schild
BA Digital Media Design
In 2002 I graduated from Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU, bachelor of arts) in the field of Digital Media Design.
Since I graduated I have worked mainly as an Online and Web Designer, Video creator, Editor, Trainer/coach and Online, Marketing & Communications specialist for Dutch and international clients, organizations and companies. Among others: Council of State (Raad van State), many municipalities, Statistics Netherlands (CBS), HCO, BCC.
I have gained experience with storytelling, video editing, shooting footage, motion graphics, photography, online media and web design, social media, graphic design, writing, coaching, teaching and project management.
I’ve also trained many editors, city council members and mayors these skills. As well as young refugees, to give them a fair chance and a good new start.
My current job is content manager at the Council of State (Raad van State) until November 2022. I really like creating videos and short documentaries. I’m looking for a new job in this direction.
In my spare time I love traveling. I’ve visited many places in the world and love to see more. Currenlty I’m researching my roots further in the British Library (EIC archives), the University Library of Leiden (KITLV) and the National Archives of Singapore. I would like to make a documentary about my journey to my roots in Indonesia, Malaysia and United Kingdom.
Before, I’ve been part of the film-crew of the movie “Goeie Mie recomposed”, which premièred at the Leiden International Film Festival in October 2016. Also I was part of the (on- and offline) promotional team.
Furthermore, in a small team with friends, we’ve created the local music TV show “4themusic” inspired by “Later… with Jools Holland”. This show is broadcast twice a month on a local TV station (Unity TV).
I’ve also played the drums in a few rockbands for fun. Some years ago with other friends, we’ve setup and run a vegan biological community restaurant for three years. My specialty is Indonesian cuisine.
