Bachelor Illustration

As a designer I want to develop stories and combine it as a holistic design with various areas. I particularly associate board games and books with great, nostalgic memories. I want to share those feelings through my illustrations and awaken excitement in other people.

Glimmer - The shining of the stars

Concept and design of a board game

Have you ever admired the constellations in the starry sky? As they envelop the night in a warm glow and accompany you through the darkness. What if they disappear? What if the stars fall down?

The board game “Glimmer” takes you to the endless vastness of heaven with its numerous constellations. Young and old can reach for the stars while immersing themselves playfully in the world of the guardian of the sky.

During a turbulent night, shooting stars fall from the sky, and the spirits of the constellations are threatened with extinction. In order to prevent this, you take on the role of the twinkling helpers of the guardian and collect the fallen stars to complete the constellations. It doesn’t matter whether you embark on this adventure during a cozy family evening with a large group or decide to save the lights of the sky with just two players.

(Competitive board game for 2 – 5 players | Ages 7 and up)
