I became a freelance illustrator just after graduating from my Bachelor’s (BA (Hons) Graphic Arts) in 2013, but I was plagued by unpayers. I’m back practising the profession now I’ve come to Amsterdam.
I’m available for illustrations, graphic design including typesetting, calligraphy, and small-scale photography (so illustrative photography but not event photography). Get in touch for a quote!

Building websites
I’ve made the following websites with WordPress, along with all their illustrations, calligraphy, and design:
- This one you’re looking at.
- This one for the vegan language café, which I organise: vegantaalcafe.nl
- This one for Horeca United (apart from the “fresh union in town” sticker): horeca-united.nl
