About me

Hi! I'm an illustrator/animator based in Amsterdam. I'm known for my graphic style, bold shapes, and soft colors. I create illustrations and animation for brands, magazines, agencies, and publishers. Because of my background in both illustration and animation, my work is like a missing link between still and moving images. Want to work together? I’d love to hear from you.​
