About

Welcome To My Creative World

My Inspiration

Hi, My Name Is Laura

I’m an illustrator and surface pattern designer based in the center of Germany.

My creative work is deeply inspired by nature as well as human nature. My illustrations have always been visually organic and flowing and thematically focussed on cultural empathy and mindful contact to ourselves and those around us. Flora and fauna create the basis of my pattern designs. I love traveling, browsing through book stores and since I became a mom my little daughter has been a big inspirational source and has further opened my eyes to the circle of nature and to everyday observations.

Biography

2019 : Freelance Illustrator & Designer

In 2019 I started working as a freelancer in editorial illustration and media design and running creative courses in Göttingen. I opened my Etsy shop in 2022 after taking Bonnie Christine’s Immersion course which led me to pattern design and empowered me to fulfil my dream of creating my own stationery line with an all over natural and humanist personality.

2018 : Trained Media Designer

After traveling through Oceania and Southeast Asia I chose to do further training in 2017 and ’18 as a designer for digital and print media with a focus on print.

2014 : Bachelor of Design

Having studied Communication Design at the Academy Minerva in Groningen, the Netherlands, and the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, USA, I finished my Bachelor’s degree in Design with a major in Illustration and Animation in 2014.
