Alexandra Lermer is a freelance illustrator, art director, visual development artist and stop motion artist based in Munich, Germany.
Alexandra's work is textured and sculptural, capturing haunted and expressive characters. Since graduating from Nuremberg Institute of Technology where she studied film & animation, illustration and graphic design, her artistic versatility has led her to design for a range of international projects from short films to commercials to feature films.
Alexandra is also a model maker, building sets for commercials as well as making puppets and props for her own projects. In 2016 she spent six months as an intern at Trikk17 in Hamburg where she was part of the fabrication team for various stop motion projects for children's television. In 2022 she was selected for the nine month long StopMoLab industry training programme in Lodz, Poland where she focused on art direction for stop motion.
Her graduation film "Freak of Nature" is currently screening at several prestigious festivals such as Hof International Film Festival, IndieLisboa and Cork International Film Festival and has already won several awards, including Best Animation for Young Audiences 7+ at the Ottawa International Animation Festival and Best Children's Film at the Manchester Animation Festival in 2024.
