When I'm not busy drawing, I love getting my hands dirty with soil and poking my head out between branches and blossoms.

Studio Karamelo

Studio Karamelo is a Cologne-based design studio for floral illustrations and high-end, eco-friendly products made of paper. Kathrin Bender is the creative force behind the studio’s natural designs. After successfully completing a degree in visual communications and spending some time in the art-scene, she entered new territory and started making stamps. With time, her portfolio grew to a flourishing and diverse collection of down-to-earth works of art as she explored different mediums’ terrains. A passionate gardener and self-proclaimed plant-lover, Kathrin finds herself inspired by everything that pushes its way through the soil in search of the sun.
