Anni von Bergen is a Paris-based illustrator and visual performer. She focuses primarily on two complementary areas: live performance at events and productions—most recently for the Hannover State opera with Don Giovanni — and creating children’s books, which she both writes and illustrates, notably with Actes Sud Jeunesse. Trained in Illustration and Design in Münster, Hamburg, and Paris, she also collaborates with brands such as Bombay Sapphire, Netflix, Steinway & Sons, and Berlin Fashion Week. Her creations have received several awards, and she works internationally.
