ART DIRECTION, CREATIVE LEADERSHIP & VISION
The Mind Behind the Vision.
MAGDALENA ONDERKA is Creative Director of PANTHOS PRODUCTIONS, bringing over 20 years of experience in broadcast television, visual communication, design, and creative leadership.
Educated in Vienna, where she studied Graphic and Communication Design alongside Art History, Magdalena built her career at the intersection of art, technology, information, and storytelling.
During her extensive career at ORF (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation), she served in senior creative leadership roles, including Head of Motion Graphics and Information Design and Head of Design for ORF1.
Her work spans the entire spectrum of broadcast design, from developing visual identities and corporate branding for television networks to creating news graphics, complex information explainers, live studio graphics, TV show concepts, set and stage design, and visual storytelling for major productions.
Beyond design, Magdalena brings extensive experience in creative team leadership, project management, talent development, resource planning, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. She has led creative teams, managed demanding production workflows, and translated ambitious ideas into cohesive visual experiences, often within the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of live television.
Her particular strength lies in making complex topics understandable, engaging, and visually compelling. Whether explaining world events through information graphics, developing a new television format, building a brand identity, or directing a production, she combines conceptual thinking with hands-on creative expertise.
Today, through PANTHOS PRODUCTIONS, she brings that same level of strategic thinking, creative precision, and broadcast-quality execution to brands, businesses, artists, and organizations.
THE CREATIVE PHILOSOPHY
Concept. Create. Realize.
For Magdalena, art direction is more than aesthetics. It's about understanding the bigger picture, connecting ideas, people, and disciplines, and turning creative vision into meaningful results.
Art meets strategy. Technology meets storytelling. Creativity meets purpose.
