I'm Tatjana, an illustrator and designer who channels her lifelong love for reading and drawing into  images that tell a story.
 

I'm known for engaging and diverse characters, loving attention to detail, and a joyful color palette. I like to paint with watercolor, gouache, and colored pencils, sometimes combined with digital media.

My work is informed and inspired by my Swiss childhood, folk art, people watching and a bit of eavesdropping, fairy tales, travel, a love of history and time-worn surfaces, vintage children’s books and ephemera, dreams of the ocean and nature in sunny South Carolina where I live today with my family.
