Hello, my name is Eleonore!
I'm a German Illustrator and Designer. Making the world a colorful and brighter place was always one of my passions. As a child and even today I'm always open to learn new things, facing challenges, and getting inspired by my culture.
During my studies I specialized besides Design and Illustration also in Social Design. I focus in my work on different opportunities to connect people with and without disability in our culture and observe the presentation of diversity in our culture. I think design is a great tool to dissolve boundaries in our society and to bring people together.
I enjoy being creative and to support clients with my ideas. I would describe my work as bright, colorful, and joyful. Colors and textures are always drawing my attention. My goal is to create unique and playful designs, that engage with the viewer.
Currently I am working as a freelancer for various clients (book illustration, layout design and branding) and as Graphic Designer for the education industry. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in a collaboration!
