berlin illustration by Julia Zschiedrich

Welcome to Berlin Illustration by Julia Zschiedrich

>> I am a freelance illustrator and logo designer based in the south of Berlin. My graphical style ranges from quick scribbles and sketches to professional illustrations and graphics. Please contact via info@berlinillustration.de

>> I studied business administration at the FU Berlin and graduated with a master's degree. While I was still studying I started working in a consulting company. During my projects I got to know all areas of operational HR management. As a team, we developed communication campaigns, recruiting software, e-learning platforms and a document management system. Finally, I was responsible for setting up a new product area.

>> After a very intense work phase, the family phase brought a professional reorientation. In recent years I have worked very closely with a graphic design team. We designed logos together, created websites and graphics.

The Wolf on the Motorbike

I always liked watching illustrations in newspapers and magazines when I was a kid. My dad was sitting in the kitchen at night, listening to free jazz, reading newspapers. At this time, I was painting a lot, like all kids probably do. My first money in school came from drawings for hotels, and small journals. During my studies, I was hired to do the illustrations for a spanish book at Freie Universität Berlin. But I never thought, making a living out of it. These were the 90s! No facebook, no insta, not even mobile phones... I wrote my first email in the students' council and registered for economics and social sciences.

After the graduate degree in Business Administration, I worked several years in software projects in Berlin. I got to know working in agile teams and made friends with the designers and developers. We considered the company as a family, and we stood on the balcony, smoking and debating until late at night. I was lucky to know my spouse, and took a time off to raise a family and have children - and so, life changed again.

Someone told me once: Illustration is not about the inking, it is about the thinking... This kept me on track! I re-started practicing (all miserable!), asking my family for feedback (completely ignorant!). Maybe my experiences as a project manager could help a bit in expressing things visually? I went to some workshops and studied the pictures in newspapers again. I bought a pen tablet and software for manga designers. I ordered business cards, and asked my friends to show me tricks in Photoshop.

Today, I work as a freelance illustrator. Over the time, I learned to work on a more symbolic level. Sometimes, I have to draw weird things like "the wolf on the motorbike", which really makes me questioning my drawing skills! But then, I start imagining, googling, scribbling and sketching - and somehow a new composition turns out. I have a great passion for digital art, and I am happy to realize more and more projects recently. Most inspiring for me, is to learn from my kids drawing freely and joyfully - and, by the projects, knowing wonderful people learning about their businesses and ideas.
