I’m Astrid Zacharias, born on October 5th 1987 and currently living in Augsburg (Germany).

I’ve been studying Communication Design since 2007 and found the perfect field for me when I chose “Information Design” as my major subject. I hope to keep working in this field after graduation, so I’m working hard to improve my skills and knowledge. Check out my portfolio to view some of my past works! And if you like some more facts about me, keep reading this page. : )
