Helena Ravenne is a freelance illustrator and designer based in Hamburg, Germany.  She studied Design in Nuremberg with the focus on Illustration.  Important ingredients and inspirations for her art she finds listening to music. She is also influenced by her work for different fashion brands, for example Acne Studio.  The Scandinavian simplicity is an important characteristic of her personal style and work.  Minimalism also shapes her lifestyle. Another source of inspiration is her home office, which she shares with different plants from all over the world.  Her work is available for sale in selected concept stores and online shops.
