Hi, I am Barbara and I warmly welcome you to my website!

As freelancing illustrator based in Munich, Bavaria, I have a passion for adventure, history and dancing. I studied history, art and communication design at the University of Munich and the University of Applied Sciences in Augsburg. The mix of design and information has always been a great concern of mine: By creating infographics and reconstructions of historical moments I want to provide an easy and fun access to abstract facts and dates.


I love to develop stories visually, creating an imaginary world with vivid characters and convincing surroundings eather for historical understanding or for the preproduction of movies and games.

I am always looking forward to the next challenge, so feel free to contact me.
