Hi, I’m Claudia, a Vienna-based art director, graphic designer and illustrator.
I run Illustrationally, a design studio specializing in branding, illustration and graphic design, where I transform ideas into distinctive brands and sketches into expressive artworks.
I combine strategic thinking with visual storytelling to create brand identities that feel authentic, memorable and perfectly aligned with my clients’ personalities. A strong love for color, typography and craft runs through everything I do — supported by good coffee and at least one cat nearby.
Brand-driven design with character
My work lives at the intersection of art direction, branding and illustration. I blend these disciplines to create cohesive visual systems — from logos and packaging to animation and hand lettering.
I help brands:
clarify who they are
stand out visually
communicate consistently across all touchpoints
Whether you’re building a brand from scratch or refining an existing one, my focus is always on clarity, personality and long-term relevance.
I’ve been working in the creative industry since 2009, starting out as an art director in leading creative agencies in Vienna.
In 2015, I founded Illustrationally to offer more personal, hands-on design solutions for brands, agencies and cultural projects.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with international brands, local businesses and creative agencies, delivering work that ranges from strategic brand identities to highly crafted illustrations and animations.

(Photography note: passionate, experienced — not claiming to be a full-time pro.)
“The role of the designer is that of a good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.”
