Embedded Files
Hi there, so you want to know more about me?
I am an illustrator and designer, but you already knew that!
To be honest, I never thought I could do this as an occupation. I grew up with the impression that art, design and animation are not "real" jobs and that I should ignore my passion, my skills and my intuition... Even though ever since I can remember I was always drawing and since Middle School I was editing pictures and videos. So, for years I put my creativity aside, labelling it as “just a hobby” and only studying it as a minor subject in university. I attained bachelor’s and master’s degrees, majoring in language studies as well as cultural and educational media studies, with the best grades possible. Even though studying languages and diving into the science of learning became my passions during my education, I still could never shake the feeling that I should do something with my creative skills. Thus, while pursuing my master’s degree, I got a job as a graphic and web designer in an advertising agency. There I quickly realised, that I want to share that creative passion on my own. Finally, in 2024 with the unconditional love and support of my partner, I was able to open my own little creative business.
MY VALUES
A few key values that are at the core of my work:
HONESTY
Honesty is the most important value for me, privately and professionally. I value open communication between humans – I do not like to hear sales pitches, marketing jargon BS or other meaningless interactions. I believe that being transparent and having normal conversations from human to human are crucial not only for building trust, but also to ensure the best outcomes for a project.INTEGRITY
Abiding to laws, rules and ethics are fundamental to my practice as an illustrator and designer, as well as to my personality. It is important to me to give credit where it's due, respect copyright laws, and stand my ground when I have to. I strive to produce work that can contribute to a kinder and principled world.CONTINUOUS COLLABORATION
Whether I am working with clients or other creatives, I think that the best results are only achievable from a shared vision and an open, continuous dialogue. Before any project, I want to make sure that everyone involved has the same idea in mind, while maintaining a collaborative spirit and open communication until the end.QUALITY
I hold myself to very high standards in everything I do. Every element of a project is important to me, from colour choices or typography to the adherence to set time frames. I believe that committing to delivering the best and most effective quality of work contributes positively to the overall impact of a project.MY THREE MISSIONS
Here is what I would love to achieve with my work:
1
Transform ideas into imaginative and playful visual stories that can ignite creativity in others, allowing them (and me) to escape into different worlds.
2
Create visuals that are both functional and spread happiness, through purposeful and playful design.
3
Foster learning and understanding by creating engaging designs and illustrations that make complex ideas more accessible and fun.
USELESS FACTS ABOUT ME
I started swimming in a club when I was five. Even though I stopped, today I am still better at sports in water than at land.
I never play piano in front of anyone (except teachers) because I love it too much to hear other's opinions about my playing.
I never thought I would be a Chihuahua person, but here we are.
Some day I hope to be fluent in Japanese, but I have a long way to go.
Since I was little, my father tried his best to get me to like classic rock. He succeeded.
Later, when my life is more stable, I would love to adopt old and sick small dogs from shelters and spoil them rotten.
