How can my illustrations enhance your project?

I create colorful, detailed illustrations for editorial projects, brands, books, and spaces. Illustrations that inspire, make content accessible, and invite exploration.






HERE ARE 3 WAYS
I CAN BRING YOUR CONTENT TO LIFE








EDITORIAL & BOOK
ILLUSTRATION



I visualize complex and socially relevant content and concepts for agencies, companies, newspapers, magazines, feature articles, books, and child-friendly media.

From individual editorial illustrations and hidden-object images for flyers, posters, or card designs to entire book projects, I create playful scenes full of little stories that make content come alive and accessible.
Charming, understandable, and memorable.

ILLUSTRATED
INFOGRAPHICS & KNOWLEDGE WORLDS



I love bringing knowledge to life, through clarity, curiosity, and carefully crafted detail.

A particular focus of my work is on detailed, visually rich illustrations that convey information in a playful and humorous way, especially for children. They invite viewers to explore, participate, and marvel, making the content memorable and engaging.
Past projects have been created for publishers, institutions,
and museums, for example.

BRANDING & MURALS



I create custom illustrations for brands, companies, urban spaces, and interiors.

Walls, panels, storefronts, logos, products, packaging.
I create visual worlds that turn heads and stick around.

Together, we’ll develop the visual identity of your project,
a concept that guides the process from the initial idea to the final design and brings the character of your content to life.

Areas of design:

Wall and interior Illustration
Menu and signage design
Window lettering & illustration
Workshops for Kids & Events

“Ich bin ein großer Fan von Lena und ihren Illustrationen – so viele liebevolle Details, spannende Farbkombis und ein humorvoller Twist. Vielen herzlichen Dank für all die schönen Arbeiten und Deine unendliche Geduld!”

Janina Kossmann
AD, havard business manager


Lena has a great knack for coming up with ideas and immerses herself deeply in the subject matter, even historical topics, to develop modern, cohesive illustrations. We especially love how she brings everything to life with her subtle humor and makes the content accessible and relatable. It’s a lot of fun to work and create alongside her. The process was relaxed and went smoothly.

(In collaboration on the new exhibition catalog for the Hansemuseum in Lübeck)

Lena hat ein tolles Gespür für Ideen und arbeitet sich intensiv in die Inhalte ein – selbst in historische Themen – um daraus moderne, stimmige Illustrationen zu entwickeln. Wir mögen besonders, wie sie mit ihrem subtilen Humor alles zum Leben erweckt und die Inhalte zugänglich und nahbar macht. Es macht großen Spaß, mit ihr gemeinsam zu arbeiten und zu gestalten. Der Arbeitsprozess lief entspannt und reibungslos.
