I am an illustrator, artist, author, and designer working for publishers around the world. Specializing in drawings and mixed-media collage, I work mainly from Berlin, but also from New York City at times where I used to live a few years back.

MAKING BOOKS
FOR CHILDREN & ADULTS
My children’s book Die Öblings kommen! (The Öblings Are Coming!) won me the “Meefisch” Award for Best Picture Book, and will be published by Fischer Sauerländer. More books for kids are on the way for Chronicle Books, Familius, and others. In vollen Zügen (Full Steam Ahead: A Typology of Train Travelers), a satire for adults, will be published by riva in early 2025.
BOOK DESIGN
In the world of book design, I have created hundreds of jacket cover designs and interior illustrations for bestselling titles, including Penguin Random House’s Who am I – and if so, How Many? by Richard David Precht, and Yuval Noah Harari’s A Brief History of Mankind, and many others for publishers like Rowohlt, Süddeutsche Zeitung Edition, Piper, Klett-Cotta, Carl Hanser, Kiepenheuer & Witsch, Atrium, Hoffmann und Campe, and dtv.
RECOGNITIONS
My work has been recognized by European Newspaper Award, American Illustration, Society of Illustrators, 3×3 Illustration Magazine, Novum World of Graphic Design magazine, and Lürzer’s 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide annual. I have won the grand prize in the Munich Oktoberfest design competition, and been among the lucky few to be creating stamp designs for Germany.
