Professional background

My creative journey led me through the halls of the Maastricht Academy of Visual Communication, where I specialized in graphic design. Following my studies, I spent a decade immersed in the dynamic world of E-commerce. Currently, I work half time as an Art Director at a branding agency in Aachen and half time as an children’s book illustrator. PLUS full time mother of two daughters.

My Passion

As a kid, I dreamed of being an artist like my dad. Now, I'm living that dream. It all started with surprising friends with watercolor postcards, and it grew into bigger, fancier pieces. When I paint, stories play out in my head. I always think about how my kids would react – what would make them smile or catch their eye. Most of my illustrations are done digitally, blending old-school art vibes with new-school tech. I love adding tiny details for folks to discover and using bright colors to make kids' eyes light up. Most importantly, I want each picture to tell a cool story and maybe bring a smile to both young and old. Thanks for joining me on this creative journey!
