I was born 1987 in Vienna, Austria. Today I’m happy to say, that I’m living my dream, working as a freelance illustrator and author. For my illustrations I mostly use ink, watercolor, pencils and digital color. I love drawing in small formats and often use mixed-media collage techniques.
If you are interested in a collaboration or further information about my work, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am always excited about learning, sharing and getting new project ideas.
