My name is Anne, I am a freelance illustrator from Hamburg specializing in editorial and advertising illustration. Although I have loved painting and drawing for as long as I can remember, it was only through my training as a tailor and fashion designer in 2011 that I really got into illustration. That’s why I moved to Hamburg after completing my training in 2015 to study illustration there. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I initially settled into a part-time job, and even though I discovered my love for plants there, it was never enough creative output for me.
In 2021, I decided to become a full-time illustrator. The path was and still is rocky; my anxiety makes many things more difficult for me, but working as an illustrator draws me into a world of calm and focus. I work quickly, with concentration and reliability. My illustrations are mostly full of characters, struggling through their everyday lives, just like the rest of us. They are colorful, eye-catching, and memorable.
