Berlin-based illustrator and visual artist working across editorial illustration, book design, screen printing, and visual identity. My hands-on experience runs from screen printing production to graphic design and, most recently, set design for film. I like projects that ask for a strong visual voice character-driven illustration, considered composition, and a feel for print as much as pixels. Comfortable working solo or as part of a creative team, and always glad to adapt my style to what a project needs.

    Exhibition Posters: Imaginary Figures

    The project combines hand-drawn illustration with a minimal typographic system, influeced by exhibition posters and Japanese graphic aesthetics. Small gestures and visual inconsistencies become central elements, allowing the viewer to interpret each scene within an undefined.

    Vinyl Cover Design

    This project presents a illustrated vinyl cover design.
    The cover is a visual response to the music, focusing on mood, rhythm, and emotional atmosphere rather than literal representation.
    The design explores composition, color, and visual balance, treating the vinyl cover as a standalone visual statement connected to the emotional character of the sound.

    Alternative comic book

    A short illustrated comic following an alien on a routine mission to Earth — except he can’t stop thinking about the dog he left behind. Between briefings, scanning equipment, and a hidden treehouse, the story plays with longing and homesickness through a sci-fi lens.

    Full illustration and narrative development: character design, page layout, color, and visual storytelling, created digitally with a hand-drawn, textured finish.
