Welcome to my world of curiosity, pictures and words.

I am an Illustrator and animator based in Hamburg, Germany and most passionate about picturebooks, 2d animation, folk art, patterns and colour. I create my work using gouache, oil pastels, ink and papercut collage.

Having finished my Degree in German and French Literature I am currently studying Illustration at HAW Hamburg and spending the rest of my time devouring books, playing the Violin and taking an unnecessary amount of photos of my two adopted cats, Sipu and Moyka!
