HELLO! I’m a creator and collector, quick drawer but slow eater, punster, recipe remixer and a visualizer of the invisible. In my work I reduce to the max – alongside an explosion of colours – while always being deeply passionate about characters. I love to mix and match colors, shapes and materials. My aim is to find solutions and the suitable design for everything from A-Z. To put it in a nutshell: I’m happy to make things happen.

Let’s create something together – I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

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.

In a parallel universe I’m on Trösterei.
