Hello and welcome to my portfolio.
I am Erika, a german designer and artist. I love pastel colors, high contrasts, minimalist style and art that is felt.

Vector Illustration Comic

THE BATHROOM

A comic about an atom in the bathroom, experiencing itself and its surroundings. The comic is humorously written, comforting and leaves plenty of room for interpretation.

It was created as several vector illustrations, with simple shapes bringing clarity and calmness. The color scheme is black and white and the minimal style contributes to a high aesthetic appeal.

Illustrative Graphic Design Cards

HACK YOUR BRAIN

The graphic design project aims to combine neuroscientific data about the brain and approaches to enhance brain performance in colorful, illustrated info cards.

The various bright colors of the cards are designed to attract attention and the little illustrations provide a playful approach for the viewer to get to know the human brain better.

Illustrative Children’s Book

THE HOME INSIDE MY HEAD

Photobook

LOOKING FOR MY SELF

A photo book consisting of self-portraits about searching for and finding identity, about exploring the “self” and the question of what it actually is.

Sensual photographs and blurred images as well as photographs taken with long exposures are intended to capture the abstract feelings of the complex question of identity.
