    Professional illustrations


    Hello. Nice that you are here to take a look at my passion: illustrations and imagining emotions or ideas where I always look for simplification of reality. My personal signature is the addition of a touch of humor or a wink. That's how I live. In this way I go from idea to visualization, where I like to take the client with me in the train of thought of this journey.

    In addition, I give shape to things that do not yet exist. Think of fantasy plants/animals or situations that are impossible to photograph, because they are in the future or simply do not exist.

    For me it is a sport to look as closely as possible into the mind of the client. To visualize the ideas and, where possible, take them one step further. Preferably in such a way that it eventually becomes a beautiful illustration, to the satisfaction of the client.
    I work goal-oriented, I make illustrations with a solid foundation and I am extremely passionate in my profession. I also like fast switching and short lines.


    Experienced illustrator


    After my studies Illustration (Utrecht) where I graduated Summa Cum Laude, I worked for 5 years as an illustrator/graphic designer and Art director in advertising.
    Here I have won a nice list of awards, including two Red Dot Design Awards, a European Design Award and a Canadian Illustration Award. All in the direction of communication/illustration.

    I like to take this experience with me with every new illustration assignment. It is important that an illustration communicates, is convincing, or sets a tone so that it ultimately reaches the customer or reader better. The idea is just as important as the form.

    In my drawing style I can go in many directions. From a very simple line drawing to very complex drawings. In doing so, I always look for what best suits the objective in question.

    I think it would be a pleasure to work for you. Contact me if you think I want a have an illustration made.
