Illustrator & Graphic Designer at Self-employed

Report

Hi, I’m Romana—a freelance illustrator, graphic designer, andā€œchild of the mountainsā€ based in Innsbruck, Tyrol.My creative journey hasn’t been a straight line, and I believe my work is richer for it. My background ranges from studying computer science and working as a 3D artist/designer at an indie game studio (Clockstone), to stepping away from screens entirely to trek 1,400 km to the Black Sea. After returning, I transitioned into a role as an in-house designer for a multi-company holding, managing everything from branding and web design to social media and print for all its subsidiaries.Today, my freelance work flows into two complementary worlds:šŸ’» Design & Branding: I help organizations, non-profits, and brands tell their stories visually. While I am well-versed in print and web design, my true passion lies in digital illustration. I specialize in clean vector graphics, customized icon sets, and hand-drawn digital illustrations that give brands a unique, approachable appearance.šŸ–‹ļø Pet Illustration | tuschetier: As an analog counterbalance to my digital work, I run tuschetier. Inspired by my late dog, Kira, I create custom, traditional ink portraits of pets. It’s a deeply personal project that allows me to step away from the screen and capture the quiet, meaningful moments of people's animal companions in classic black and white.Whether I’m designing a clean vector icon set for website or painting an emotional ink tribute for a pet owner, my goal is always the same: to tell a compelling visual story.Let’s connect if you need a creative partner for your next project, or if you'd like to immortalize a pet companion!šŸ”— Portfolio: romanamayr.comšŸ”— tuschetier: tuschetier.at
