I’m Tanya Heidrich, an illustrator and graphic designer with over 10 years of experience.

I have a BFA in Graphic Design from the Maryland Institute College of Art, and worked for a design agency and an educational technology startup before launching into freelancing. Over the years I’ve worked with brands, non-profits, universities, governments and small businesses across industries on projects including branding, print, packaging, environmental graphics, web design, and UI.

Raised in Switzerland, schooled in the US and now living in Spain, I’m comfortable working in English, French and Spanish, across time zones and cultures.

I’m also a muralist and pattern designer under the pseudonym Stillo Noir, which helps me bring a unique touch of illustration and experiential thinking to design projects!

You can find samples of my work by scrolling below, or download my CV and a handy PDF portfolio here:

Illustrations for the book series ‘Forgotten Women’, which highlights influential women in history. Each book focuses on a different area of expertise, from artist, to writers, so scientists and leaders.

MyQVO

Branding, UI design and illustration for ‘Blackout’, a game in the ‘Arqade’ app of educational startup MyQVO (now CircleIn). The game merged a quiz format with compelling graphics, incentivizing students to answer correctly in order to bring light back to cities – from Paris, to New York, to Cape Town.

MyQVO

Branding, UI design, illustration and animation for ‘SpaceHam’, a game in the ‘Arqade’ app of MyQVO (now CircleIn). Upon answering quiz questions correctly, students earn time to play the game in which they navigate a rocket, avoiding planets and meteors while collecting pigs – and points!
