About me

I'm a Dutch illustrator creating nostalgic, painterly illustration for seasonal and gift packaging: Christmas tins and tubes, advent calendars, tea and biscuit packaging, and festive puzzles.

I love storybook details, vintage characters and warm, layered scenes that make a product feel special on the shelf and worth keeping long after it's opened. A single illustration can grow into a full seasonal range, from packaging to coordinating patterns and gifts.

Alongside my painterly work, I also create bold, playful characters for toys and games, and single-colour line illustration for food brands.

I work with brands, packaging agencies and manufacturers, and my artwork is available for commissions and licensing.
