Hi! Nice to meet you...
So...What's the story?
Tiki's Design evolved from a strong passion for design, visual thinking and independence. With a background in architecture, and an endless creative wanderlust, we love to explore and delve into any crafty challenge we come across.
In 2015 we ventured to set the sails of our tiny business for a journey out into the vast ocean of illustration, graphics and other design services.
Based in Cologne, Germany we are flexible to work all over the world.
We're always eager to gain new experiences and take opportunities to grow and improve. We strongly believe in the conjoining energy of art and the uplifting power of inspiration.
During the combined studies of architecture & interior design (including a great scope of other related fields) Tiki cultivated a wide range of skills, being especially tempted to experiment with these various disciplines and how they are interconnected.
Despite working in a versatile profession like interior design the overall curiosity of what's more to see remains. And so does the urge to explore all the different ways in which our world might be made a slightly… more splendid place.
Thus Tiki's gone rogue from her bachelor field to link and balance illustration and construction; graphics and space; visuals and functionality; crafts and storytelling.
Finding a balance is kinda her thing off-duty too. Be it by surfing, living healthy or meditating on the meaning of egolessness, balance is key! ;)
Profile
Who's that girl?
Some say...
that she was designed by the spirits of ancient Pacific Mermaid-tribes, created in a japaneesy Lalaland and produced in Holland, before being manufactured and shaped in Germany.
And that she's made of fair-trade organic ingredients and all her life-energy and inspiration is generated by the love for the Ocean and Nature and can only be maintained by adventure, constant nerdy input, saltwater and lactose-free yoghurt...
...all we know is: She's called

Services
What we do...
Illustration
Based on hand-drawings I love to create colourful artworks for both digital and print media; such as postcards, posters, books or magazines. I also design shirts, totes, accessoires or surf & skate board designs.
Graphic Design
Along with simple yet experimental graphics and layouts for brochures, flyers, stationary and more I also offer highly personalised unique event invitations and carefully tailored logos or branding concepts.
Typography / Letttering
Believing in the power of words I like to help them enhance impact by illustrating typographic posters, unique hand-lettering or signage for shops, bars and small businesses.
Architectural Drawing
Despite the current focus on illustration the love for my original field in spacial design is strong. So you'll not regret giving me an opportunity to work with you on architectural concepts, interior projects or furniture design.
3D Rendering
Trained in perspective drawing and 3D imaging, Tiki's graphical services also include architectural visualization, renderings and 3D photomontages.
Passion and Spirit
Great ideas and striking design only come with enthusiasm and optimistic energy. I'm always eager to put my heart&soul into the work I create and never hesitate to run an extra mile for that final touch that separates good from awesome.
