Her creativity is inspired by what surrounds her in everyday life. "We don't need to travel to the end of the world... So many things, so many people, so many situations in our daily life are so extraordinary, surprising and photogenic! Nothing is trivial. It all depends on what angle you look at it and capture it." Since 1985, Heike has been working as a freelance graphic designer, putting her creativity to work for companies, agencies and associations in the development of their visual communication. "I'm so lucky to love my job."
