Kristina Kister is illustrator of Vanya and the Wild Hunt and a character designer from Essen, Germany. After graduating in Communication Design she worked as a junior art director in an ad agency in Düsseldorf, where she illustrated for clients like Weight Watchers, Fashion Designer Thomas Rath, DHL and many more.
Today she is a freelance illustrator illustrating pen&paper books, children’s books, developing character and concepts for German TV shows and all kinds of projects which involve illustration work.

Having a background as a graphic designer, her style is characteristic for geometric shapes, unusual colour palettes and clear outlines. Working mostly digital, she experiments with watercolour and pencil textures to give it an analogue feel.
