Dorothea Kocsis (aka Studio Dorothea) is a Hungarian illustrator and designer who has studied and worked in London, Madrid, Norway, and Budapest, with each place shaping the way she sees the world and influencing her work.

Her illustration practice is characterised by vibrant colours, rich textures, nostalgia, and a sense of mystery. Influenced by her travels across Latin America and Scandinavia, as well as her Eastern European heritage, her work draws inspiration from diverse cultures, folklore, mid-century modern design, music, nature, and traditional artisanship. She has worked on a variety of projects, including packaging, branding, editorial, textile, stationery, and advertising campaigns.

Through her work, Dorothea hopes to bring people a little joy and comfort, a touch of magic, and a brief escape from the everyday.
