HELLO! Welcome to my website. My name is Syl, I’m a creator and collector, quick drawer and slow eater, word wizard, recipe remixer and a visualizer of the invisible, for example, when I illustrate complex issues or translate corporate values into characters. I’m deeply passionate about character design, always true to the motto: if in doubt, put eyes on it! 🧿🧿

Would you like to have your content or a (print)product designed in a clear and appealing way? I can provide you with excellent support here too. Take a look at →books and magazines and →postcards that I have designed.

I studied Visual Communication and Character Design in Germany and Graphic Design and Illustration in the USA. I’ve been working for international clients since 2002.
I’m a member of Illustratoren Organisation, Gislerprotokoll and syndicom.
In a parallel universe I’m on Trösterei.
TESTIMONIALS
Syl can certainly be compared to Mary Poppins. She is a wonderful colleague, brimming with ideas, drive and great artistic talent. Among other things, she provided me with invaluable help as a designer in completing a comprehensive work on Yoga, and also made a significant contribution as an editor. Today, she manages my website and keeps it up to date in a creative and professional manner. She helps me respond to email inquiries, which takes a lot of work off my hands. She does all this in a thoughtful, friendly and intelligent manner, working behind the scenes like a fairy who waves her magic wand with joy and dedication. Despite all this, she has remained modest when it comes to financial matters, even though her contributions are invaluable. I hope our collaboration will continue for many years to come. – Reinhard Gammenthaler, kundalini-yoga.ch
