Hi, I'm Lara, freelance illustrator and graphic designer from Germany living in Tauranga, New Zealand. I create colourful illustrations inspired by nature.
Already at young age I have established my love for creating alongside my talented and creative grandmother and parents. Since then I have continued trying out new mediums or techniques in school and in my free time whenever I had the chance to. In February 2025 I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in illustration at the Münster School of Design. In addition to projects in the field of communication design, I developed a passion for children's book and silent book illustration during my studies. In my illustrations, I like to draw inspiration from nature, for example through its shapes and colours.
In my spare time, I love to travel, cook and spend time with family and friends. Travelling has always been a big source for inspiration. On my way, I love to take pictures of places and things which I often use as reference for my illustrations.
I hope you will find some inspiration in my illustrations. I'd love to hear from you! :)
