​
As freelance illustrator and part-time graphic designer in an advertising agency in Berlin I try to balance my time between commissioned work and free artistic practice. My daily creative work ranges from classical and experimental illustration with the focus on character design, editorial and logo design, web-design to 2D animation and storyboarding.
