Hi, I'm Franzi!

I am an illustrator, educator and visual designer based in Toronto.

I bring unique creative ideas to life  - whether that's by illustrating an interactive children's ebook, laying out an editorial story for a magazine or creating a visually engaging advertising campaign for a new start-up. 

I specialize in visual storytelling. My research interests include linguistics and how interactive digital devices can create new opportunities at the intersection of design, technology and language learning.

I also share my passion for Adobe InDesign and multi-page layouts with clients and students through local colleges and custom online and in-person training

If you are working on an exciting project and need a creative powerhouse and all round designer - get in touch with me today!

Effectively designed materials change how your customers engage with your brand, product and services. I specialize in multi-page layout design. In addition to many brochure designs and event booklet layouts, I have contributed to magazines on everything from cover design to interior page layout and advertorial designs, to creating matching graphics for social media. 

Whether it's a single illustration for packaging design or a big project with multiple illustrations like a children's book - illustrations add a beautiful touch to any project. I specialize in watercolour illustration with a whimsical narrative and atmosphere. Check out my portfolio to learn more about my illustration style and if it might be the right fit for you!

I specialize in watercolour illustration for Children's Books, but I am also proficient in many other mediums and styles, like charcoal and acrylics. I use a variety of video editing programs, depending on the specific animation needs of each project.
