I currently make illustrations and try to create a new one every day. I studied textile design and used to design patterns, which I still do every once in a while. A few years ago something shifted in me; I started to experiment with different mediums and materials and kind of fell into the world of illustration, and I’m loving it. My cute little studio was a lovely little room in our apartment, which is now the room of our cute little baby girl, so I’m currently working out of our living room. 

About 10 years ago, I moved to Israel to study textile design. I wasn’t planning to stay, but it felt like home, so here I am. I was born in Vienna, Austria, but grew up in Antwerp, Belgium. I still feel that the European in me hasn’t fully adapted – physically and emotionally – to the Mediterranean heat and probably never will. But that’s okay, I escape to the Austrian mountains to cool off whenever I have the chance.
