Take a glimpse in the process of creation

The work of a designer is often not just sitting in front of a screen, moving pixels from one side to the other. It is about diving fully into the topics clients might bring. Understanding their intentions, customers, fears and longings. My series »Behind the scenes« will give you insights of my designing-approach—a personal diary of my process of creation. Handmade, authentic and relatable.

The current project Guide du yoni massage by Nicolas Deru, is literally a touchy one: It shows how to touch the most intimate part of a body—socially perceived as a female one—in a consensual and conscious manner. French Edition. Order the book via La voie du plaisir.

The Yoni Massage Guide

Editorial Design · Illustration

This first handbook of an upcoming series will show how to create a safe space and how to give a conscious and tantric touch to a body with female attributes.

Literally getting »in touch« with others sometimes needs a little bit of a guidance. Nicolas Deru is a long-experienced tantric masseur and bodyworker who is giving massages, workshops, coachings and formations about the topics of tantric touch, tao-practices as well as communication and consent with his enterprise »La Voie du plaisir«. His experience and creativity is generating the content of this book.

Back to the roots

This project allows me to come back to my origin: The analog experimental drawing, painting and printing-process. Which technique represents the topic best? Which formal language will touch the recipient and transports a message of poetry – as the tantric touch itself is.
