Riel was born in 26 September 1971 in Aarhus. Her father is a lawyer and her mother, Mette Brahm Lauritsen, is a children's book author and illustrator. She graduated from Marselisborg Gymnasium in 1990 and began to study art history at Aarhus University the following year. Alongside her studies in Aarhus, she developed a keen interest in jazz and would often be found at the local jazz club, Jazzbar Bent J. In 1996 she moved to Copenhagen with an ambition to study illustration at the Danish Design School. Instead she ended up working at the Storm P. Museum dedicated to the life and work of Robert Storm Petersen (1882-1949), a Danish artist known for his comic strips and satirical work. Storm P. also provided the subject for Riel's third children's book. When Riel wasn't writing children's books, she was pursuing her love of music: going to as many concerts as possible, immersing herself in the Copenhagen jazz scene, joining the board of The Ben Webster Foundation and traveling with her husband Alex Riel, one of the most significant and influential jazz drummers in Europe.
