Illustration, children’s books and handmade toys with comics and animation sprinkled on top.

That’s my happy place.

Hey. I’m Sonja.

I have been illustrating all my life without even knowing it. In my first job as a graphic designer I finally found my passion for drawing silly characters and it stuck. I now work part-time as a graphic designer and freelance as an illustrator.

A few years back my friend Karo and I started to make wooden toy animals and since then part of my creative heart only beats for our precious Besondere Holztiere. Look at them - super cute and hand crafted and we always come up with new ones!

What I am looking for in my projects:

In all my work I tell stories. No matter how big or small, a single illustration or a whole children’s book. I want my illustrations to be more than just colorful images.

My work also reflect my values: feminism, diversity, environment protection and sustainability.
