Sesame Street • Freiberufler

Jan 2018 - Aug 2022 • 4 yrs 7 mos

I worked as a freelance book illustrator with Sesame Workshop, contributing artwork for Sesame Street educational publishing projects. During this collaboration, I illustrated 12 books designed for children, creating colorful, engaging, and child-friendly visuals that supported learning through storytelling. My work focused on developing expressive characters, lively scenes, and clear visual narratives that matched the fun and educational spirit of Sesame Street. I carefully followed brand guidelines while also bringing creativity and warmth to each illustration, ensuring consistency across multiple books. This experience strengthened my skills in children’s book illustration, visual storytelling, deadline management, and working professionally with an established international organization. It also gave me valuable experience in creating artwork that entertains young readers while helping communicate important educational messages in an accessible and memorable way.
