Heike was born in Hamburg, where she now lives, but spent part of her childhood in a village outside the city.

After leaving school she first trained as a window-dresser in a department store before taking her Abitur (A levels/High School Diploma) at night school. She then went on to study graphic design and book illustration at the Fachhochschule Hamburg. There she specialised in »informative illustration« gaining her Diploma in this field under the supervision of Professor Flurschütz.

Since leaving college in 1995, Heike has been working as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator -- including work for NDR, the north German TV and radio station, and »TV total«, a weekly television magazine. She has also taught at the »Buxtehude Art School«.
