some of my recent work

a cartoon about an older woman asking a younger woman how homosexuality relates to psychological illnesses, emphasising the connection of societal changes and psychological diagnostics

a postcard with a male student standing in the center; around him are small illustrations representing a range of capabilities one aquires throughout their psychology studies

the cover of a PhD thesis entitled "Beyond Brain Games"; the cover is black and shows a golden labyrinth with some free space - one is in the shape of a brain and contains the title, the other five contain small illustrations that stand for the topic of the different chapters

the cover of a PhD thesis entitled "young students with refugee background in primary education"; the cover is in a rosé pattern with golden cracks on it, such as the Japanese artform kintsugi (repairing ceramics with gold)

a page of cartoons that summarise a chapter of a PhD dissertation; on this page, you can see three cartoon characters representing the theory behind the chapter and the methodology used (testing a board game and evaluate it with questionnaires, observations, and interviews)

the cover of a PhD dissertation entitled "Student well-being in higher education"; the cover shows a yellow-green painting background and a cartoon of a young Latina student standing, holding a boardgame in front of her

a cartoon of a young woman in black wide pants, a semi-short grey shirt and glasses, with her hands in her pockets, looking confidently

a cartoon of a two people sitting at a table, the left one a femal researcher taking notes, the right one a male participant operating a computer while wearing a band around his head whose cables reach a brain wave-measuring machine; there is a speech bubble between them showing a person and around that person several daily chores, and there is a thinking bubble next to the participant containing a figure that raises their finger while writing something down, with a lightning bulb above its head

a drawn postcard from a bird's view, a scene of grass with a couple of trees in the right upper corner and some sheep on the left lower corner, and a street crossing through it curvily; it says "your CV does not have to be straight-foward"

a postcard with a green background and a cartoon character in the right lower corner; it says "emergency psychologist" in German and summarises information about the job, supported by additional small illustrations

a blue background, two corporate people, one male, one female, standing in the left lower corner, looking confidently; from them lead dotted lines to seven small illustrations repeating the two characters in different situations according to the seven aspects of the LOOVANZ resilience concept

Visual and creative science communication

At lis.strations, my goal is to make psychology and social science accessible to everyone. Through playful and thoughtful cartoons, I aim to raise awareness of important psychological and societal issues in a way that’s easy to understand. We process visual information faster and retain more compared to plain text; therefore, research visuals are a powerful tool. As both an academic and a creative, I bring an insider’s perspective on the complexities of research, combining that expertise with a love for visual storytelling to communicate science in an engaging and meaningful way.
