about dahlia

ILLUSTRATION ARTIST, GRAPHIC & MOTION DESIGNER

Born and raised in Germany, Dahlia discovered her passion for illustration at an early age. In 2021, she completed her Bachelor's degree in Communication Design at Hochschule RheinMain, focusing on illustration and graphic design. In July 2025, she graduated with a Master's degree in Time-Based Media from Hochschule Mainz, expanding her specialties to include motion design.

With five years of experience as a working student at Fünfwerken Design AG in Wiesbaden, she contributed to projects that centered exactly on these areas of expertise — and especially on motion design. Now working as a freelance designer, she enjoys creating meaningful projects, some of which have reached an international audience.

With Lebanese and Barbadian roots, Dahlia draws constant inspiration from both cultures, which deeply influence her creative work. This cultural richness is reflected in Lil Egos, where many of her characters are Black-coded or carry elements of her heritage. As a Black female artist, she is committed to representing and celebrating her cultural identity through her illustrations.
