Hola! Long time no see! Being busy with kids, life and work and decided not to show up here much. But I'm working on some things that will come out soon. In the meantime I keep sharing pieces form last year from my collab with @couriermedia Workshop. Main Illustration for „Everything you need to know about... Stay interviews“. . . Keeping hold of talented people is always tough. Bringing in a structured chat to identify what people like about their role – and what could improve it – is a logical, low-lift way to create a culture of open communication. . . . #stayinterviews #jobinterview #feedback #smallbusinesss #startup #editorialillustration #magazineillustration #instagood #instagram #illustration #artist #instaart #artistsoninstagram #illustrator #alltheseillustrations #illustrationartists #itsnicethat #illustrationage #weloveillustration #womenofillustration #womenwhodraw #socfeature #IAClub #instagood #instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDDoL-o9xv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Main Illustration for „Everything you need to know about... customer feedback loops“.

I haven't been very active here lately. Despite having done a lot of new work in the last few months, being pregnant and taking care of an extremely active and temperamental two year old has not led me to have the time or energy to post here more often. Before I go into another baby break, I’ll be sharing some illustrations I've done recently. This one is about „Succession planning“.

Another three illustrations of my weekly collaboration with the wonderful @couriermedia Workshop. These are about "Customer personas" "Though you might think you have a pretty good idea of who your customers are, getting granular with the details and creating fictionalized customer personas can be super useful." . . . #customerpersonas #avatar #targetcustomer #personalization #editorialillustration #magazineillustration #instagood #instagram #illustration #artist #instaart #artistsoninstagram #illustrator #alltheseillustrations #illustrationartists #itsnicethat #illustrationage #weloveillustration #womenofillustration #womenwhodraw #socfeature #IAClub #instagood #instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CbhowbSgdee/?utm_medium=tumblr

Three more illustrations for the great @couriermedia Workshop. These are about "Dealing with poor performers" At some point or other, you'll have to deal with someone not working at the standard you expect.

This is the feature "Get to the heart of the matter" published in the Observer on 13/02/22 for a piece on love and therapy and how to stay together. . . . I made this illustration in a week when my 2 year old son was home sick. I have drawn more than 100 love couples. I had pain in my back, in my arm, in my shoulders and I had to work late at night because when you have a toddler awake at home it's impossible to work. It was a hard job in a quick time frame, but it was worth it and I am very happy with how it turned out! Thanks @joannacochrane for your great direction and your trust working in tricky circumstances :) . . . #morethan100couples #valentine #love #lovecouples #diversitylove #lgbtlove #valentineheart #heart #amor #liebe #theobserver #theguardian #editorialillustration #magazineillustration #instagood #instagram #instadaily #art #drawing #illustration #artist #instaart #artistsoninstagram #illustrator https://www.instagram.com/p/CahgIRHAtaF/?utm_medium=tumblr

I wish you all a healthy (first and foremost!), happy and productive new year. My first post of the year has this series of illustrations I did for Deutsche Telekom's magazine "You & me" Issue 04/2021 for an article entitled "Rolle Rückwärst" (back roll) and how productivity was affected by the decision of Telekom and other companies to bring workers back to the offices end of last year.
