I am a freelance illustrator and graphic designer with a penchant for hand drawings. I vary my style depending on the task at hand and use a variety of techniques to realise my work, from the design phase to production readiness. I enjoy creating detailed and elaborate illustrations as well as quick and wild line drawings. In addition to projects in children’s books, I also work for editorial, cultural and freelance contexts. Storytelling is at the center of my work — images that evoke atmosphere, bring stories to life and linger in the memory. Since 2018 I have been teaching typography for children's books, poster design and book cover design at AID, the Academy for Illustration and Design Berlin.
