About
Hello, nice to meet you.
I’m an Amsterdam-based illustrator working for editorial, publishing and brands. My work begins with a clear concept and develops into visually engaging, hand crafted illustrations.
I often work on themes ranging from everyday life to care, responsibility and social subjects, translating ideas into images that feel thoughtful and visually strong.
After several years of teaching, I followed my dream and studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, where my graduation project received the Items & Industry Award. Since then, I’ve worked with magazines, publishers and brands, and exhibited my work internationally.
Alongside commissioned projects, I create prints and paper goods and collaborate with selected partners in publishing and fashion.
I’m a mother of three, drawn to city life and our garden. I’m firmly on team bird, cook soup, and collect erasers.
And this … is me with Henny. My girl crush and the best picture I had of myself in the house.
