Hi, I am Anna Theresa, a Berlin-based illustrator and visual artist specializing in atmospheric, editorial-style illustration and visual storytelling. Over the past years, I have developed illustrative worlds, visual systems, and asset collections for clients including Volkswagen, Cariad, American Express, Chanel, the Mercedes-Benz Arena Berlin, and the German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt). My work focuses on translating ideas, identities, and emotions into refined visual narratives with a contemporary and cinematic aesthetic. I am particularly interested in creating immersive imagery that combines atmosphere, composition, texture, and subtle storytelling in a visually distinctive way. With experience across cultural, commercial, and digital projects, I enjoy developing illustration systems that are both artistically compelling and adaptable across campaigns, editorial contexts, branding, and social storytelling. Hope to see you soon!
