Hi, I’m Clara!
I am a freelance illustrator and designer based in the south of Germany.
My main interest lies in editorial and book illustration. Topics such as environmentalism, sustainability, and nature in general are reoccuring themes in my work. For my bachelor’s thesis I created a fairy tale book. For this, I wrote several short stories of psycological content and drew many illustrations to accompany the fairy tales. Have a look at it in my portfolio!
My art education began at the University for the Creative Arts, Canterbury, England where I did a Foundation Year in Art and Design with a focus in animation. I continued studying illustration in Stuttgart, Germany at the HfK+G, Hochschule für Kommunikation und Gestaltung. In August 2023, I finished uni with a Bachelor of Arts.
During my time at university, I worked as a student assistant at the Fraunhofer Institute. I created the corporate design for their start up company Assemblio. I contiued working as their graphics designer creating flyers, animations, and designs for a stand at a trade fair. Since October 2023 I am a freelance illustrator offering illustrations, animations, and designs.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing, cooking and baking (without ever following the recipes), and frolicking through the forests.
