Claudia Schröder biography

Claudia Schröder is a German illustrator and visual artist known to readers and fans online as “Pinky Pills.” Trained in graphic design, she worked as a 2D game artist before establishing a freelance practice in 2014. Her crossover experience in games and publishing led to collaborations on the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise created by Scott Cawthon.

For young readers, Schröder is best recognized as the illustrator of Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Silver Eyes – The Graphic Novel (Scholastic). The adaptation introduced the bestselling horror series to a middle-grade and teen graphic-novel audience, pairing fast-paced storytelling with character-driven, high-contrast art. Her contributions to the franchise also include official artwork for related projects.

Publisher biographies describe Schröder’s longstanding interest in character design and narrative art from an early age. That focus continues to shape her portfolio across book illustration, concept art, and franchise design work.
