A bit about myself.







Hello, my name is Nicolle Rockstroh

I am very thankful to have inherited my last name. I like it because it’s very close to the word rockstar. It’s German and the fact that I have a very German last name that combines with my very German face is only a sweet little ironic treat served on top of me being born and raised in Guatemala. A very non-german-like country. 


I got to grow up not that far away from beaches, jungles, volcanoes and Mayan pyramids. I was surrounded by a very rich culture, biodiverse ecosystems, fantastic food, the best coffee in the entire planet and a lot of color. 

And all of that (to me) is why I go full color on my illustrations, get often inspired by plants or animals, preach caffeine as a way of living and sometimes tell myself that I could, if I wanted to, be a rockstar.

There is also a possibility that you are here because of professional reasons and truly don’t care that much about my upbringing. In that case I can tell you about my work experience and education in the following columns.

If you happen to like my work and are interested in a collaboration, or would simply like to chat a bit, you can find me here:

Nicolle
