Art direction & Concept Art

From sketches and turnarounds to storyboards, material design, and style frames, concept art is a big part of what I do. I’ve created visual foundations for ASN Bank and other great clients, resulting in strong, solid characters and cohesive style frames that reflect the brand and story. Check out the portfolio page for more.

Book Illustration

Illustrating for little ones Children’s books hold a special place in my work. Building whimsical, wonder-filled worlds for young readers is something I truly enjoy. A great example is Steggy & de Meteoriet, a dinosaur-themed children’s book designed to inspire imagination and curiosity through visual storytelling.

Design for
Events & Brands

Your event or brand coming to life. Working closely with brands - or events like your special day, wedding or party - I help shape and elevate their visual identity. From logo design to graphic assets and supporting materials, my focus is on creating consistent, meaningful visuals that align with the brand’s vision and story. For example for the awesome cafe Casa Dawn,
in Rotterdam South.

Live Illustration

Unforgettable Moments. Live illustration brings moments to life, right as they happen. During events, weddings, or special gatherings, I create illustrations on the spot: portraits of guests, atmospheric scenes, or visual stories that capture the mood of the moment.
