Hey! I'm glad you drop by!
I'm Alexa and I turn ideas and stories into hand-drawn, charming images that speak for you - from children's books to illustrated branding projects. I also enjoy making content pretty ;)
What do a playful children’s book, an eye-catching package, and a beautifully illustrated poster have in common? They all rely on illustration as a powerful form of communication.Illustration is not a pretty picture - it adds personality and humanity to your product, makes your brand or project more tangible and approachable. It creates emotion, sparks curiosity and communicates your message to your audience. In image, Illustration and Design it is my job to make your content graspable, understandable and communicate your story optimally.

A Quick Glance
Kids & Education Illustration
One of my biggest focus areas is kids, adolescents and educational subjects. I love playing with fun, playful ideas for children's stories, coming up with styles and expressive illustrations for adolescent's books. Much of my personal past as well as clients I worked with and circle of friends is focused on education and the teaching, seminar and developmental field, and visualising teaching materials for kids and grown ups is one of my favourite subjects.

Surface & Pattern Illustration
I have so much fun playing with colors and patterns and coming up with unique motifs. One of my major goals and dreams is to create product-oriented designs and licensable card illustrations for brands or businesses that produce their own products. I love designing patterns and illustrations that bring personality to a product, make it stand out and bring a smile to peoples faces.

Illustrated Branding, Packaging & Commercial projects
I have over a decade of experience in Branding and logo creation, from very sleek and straight-forward designs (→ Lenitas) to hand-drawn logos for kindergartens (→ Goldstückchen). My focus now lies in hand-drawn illustrated branding, logo and elements to highlight your brand's or product's unique personality, make you personable, and catch your audience's attention.

Photo editing and compositing
Ever since I first got my hands on Photoshop in 1998, it has been one of my biggest passions learning about enhancing and retouching Portraits and Imagery, restoring old photographs, and more so, bringing fantastic sceneries and bold ideas to life for advertisement, illustrative editorial work or creative projects.
