Illustrator and visual storyteller exploring clarity, awareness, and everyday wisdom.

Hey, hi - I'm Nellie

i'm a french-born illustrator based in Berlin
- and a mother of two.

after years in the corporate and startup world,
i felt the need to slow down and live more intentionally.

at 35, i returned to school to study illustration
and design for 4 years at AiD Berlin.

not to change myself - but to realign.

why i create

i’m fascinated by people, our minds,
and how we work as humans.

sometimes, our noisy world feels like a lot.

drawing is my way of slowing it down.
of looking closer.
of finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.

when i draw and create, time seems to stop.

i feel present.
connected to myself, to others,
and to the world around me.

my work

the older i get, the more space
i need. in my life. in my home.
on my pages. and in my mind.

i choose restraint and silence deliberately.
less color. less decoration. fewer elements.

because reduction creates space.
in that space, i find awareness.

to pause.
to see more clearly.
