I am a graphic designer and illustrator.

Born and raised in the center of Germany, I found my passion for packing boxes after finishing grammar school and lived in several different cities in Germany, Canada, France, Austria and Japan.

I am fascinated by the varied styles of communication and different ways of understanding visual language between the countries.

Now I chose Rotterdam to be my new exciting object of study and my lovely home.
