I’m an Amsterdam based illustrator who specialises in visual story telling. 

I love to bring to life meaningful and subtle moments of people’s lives. 


In the other side of my career I’ve been a customer behavioural researcher where I’ve travelled the world finding out what makes people tick. 

I like to draw on my research skills in my creative practice - be it how I creatively record and observe, to how I make the subtle and sometimes even mundane moments in life beautiful.
