About
Petra Imboden was born in Switzerland in 1988. Since She's been a little child her biggest dream was to draw as good as the Disney Artists. Every day she tried to improve her drawing and painting skills. She was mostly inspired by Cartoons ans French Comic Artists. After years of drawing Comics she explored the new medium "Games" and especially Concept Arts and Character Design. She decided to study Game Design at University of Arts in Zurich and graduated successful with a Bachelor of Arts in Product and Industrial Design with a specialization in Game Design.

After 3 interesting years at University she's now using her knowledge in Game Design to programming and designing games. At the moment she's working as Freelance Artist as a Concept Artist, Character & Environment Artist and also as Illustrator for various clients like Authors or Game Companies
