Karin is a Danish freelance illustrator based in Hamburg, Germany, where she lives with her husband and their twin boys—her daily dose of inspiration, joyful chaos, and bright ideas.

She holds an MA in Illustration & Graphic Design from the Danish School of Design, graduating in 2008, and has been working as a freelancer ever since.

Her work spans personal projects, print products, and a steadily growing collection of children’s books. Across all formats, her illustrations are known for their lively spirit, bold color palettes, and an abundance of intricate details that reward curious eyes. Each piece is filled with playful characters, layered compositions, and little visual surprises, inviting viewers to explore and discover something new every time.

Guided by curiosity and a passion for storytelling, Karin continues to experiment with new styles and techniques—always with a sense of playfulness and imagination at the core of her work.
