About

Hello! I’m a designer and illustrator from Germany, based in Sweden, with around 10 years of experience working in creative roles.
I studied communication design and illustration in Germany, and since then, I’ve had the chance to work in a variety of settings, from startups to software companies, advertising agencies, and freelance projects. I love adapting quickly, working well with teams, and creating independently. Creativity feels like a basic need to me—it’s how I connect with the world. I enjoy exploring new styles, learning new tools, and diving into unfamiliar topics.

I created a series of original illustrations for a special edition: “Adorable Animals” of Coloring Heaven, a globally distributed coloring magazine published by Anthem Publishing. This project involved close collaboration with the editorial team to develop detailed, themed coloring pages tailored for an international audience. The magazine was released worldwide in summer 2024.
