I am an illustrator and graphic designer based in Leipzig. With a Ph.D. in Linguistics and a B.A. in Communication Design, my work is grounded in both science and art.
An illustration is more than a rendition of the facts; it can uncover the stories behind the data, touch emotionally and turn information into deeper understanding. Our world is growing more complex, while our attention span is becoming shorter and shorter. Visualizations help greatly in communicating abstract concepts. With my expertise I offer you creative and individual solutions to illuminate your content and ideas.
My work includes (but is not limited to): posters, infographics, illustrated maps, comics, icons, logos, record covers, book covers and book illustrations.
