About me
My name is Lisa, since I was born in Germany, my name is pronounced slightly different from the English version, with a round "s" instead of a sharp one.
I studied Asian Studies with Japanese (B.A.) and Photography Studies and Research (M.A.) because I wanted to combine my interest in cultures and art through my university degrees. Illustration, graphic design, photography as well as languages and intercultural communication are my passions which I am now combining through my work and projects :)

Competitions
I am currently not participating in any competitions since I am busy graduating. However, I did win an illustration competition in a draw-your-own-icebear contest by the government of the city of Cologne (Germany) when I was in primary school, winning as "one of the first prices" a really fluffy icebear :)
