Are you looking for warm and colorful illustrations for your project, completely customized to your needs? Full of magic and humor?
I would love to help you!
And if, in addition to illustration, you're also looking for someone to do the graphic design for you, you've come to the right place!
Illustrating children's books since 2019 has allowed me to build up a lot of knowledge and expertise and gain a lot of experience working for commercial projects.
I watched myself grow and discovered a passion for helping others bring their dreams and projects to life in the form of magical illustrations!
Therefore, I want to expand my expertise, keep growing and keep challenging myself.
So I am really looking forward to illustrating for, among others: youth books, Young Adult books, (board) games, coloring books, cartoons, posters, courses, campaign images, graphic novels, ... in which I am available for illustration, character design, concept art, coloring, visual storytelling and graphic design.
I love to work in all kinds of themes, but I'm most fond of working in themes that are fantasy- and/or nature-inspired.
Do you have a project in mind and would you like to explore the possibilities together? Then I would love to hear from you!

'The Adventures of Felix the Flamingo' (2020) is an American book written by author Grady Means and published by Surrogate Press. I illustrated the book.
Becoming an adult is a difficult life transition for most children, but it can be particularly traumatic for many children when they are confused about their gender and sexual identity. Felix begins to discover that he is an unusual bird who has lost his way. Fortunately, he meets the strange and curious Gaylebird, who helps him on his personal journey to a great life.
The Adventures of Felix the Flamingo is a story for all children (and many adults) to help them, or to help them better understand others who may be going through more difficult, secret, often very lonely, struggles.

Let's get to know each other!
I am curious about your project and your ideas and would love to explore the possibilities together.
Scheetje Planeetje Makes Everything Green
"Your service and communication: perfect! Nothing to add there. The way you illustrate in itself is very good, from line drawing to detailed coloring phase; I hardly had any feedback and everything that needed adjusting you did exactly how I imagined it the second time around. You also helped me come up with things I didn't really have figured out yet, so it was really nice to have an illustrator who really thinks along with me.
Yes, I am happy with the end result. All the children love it, by the way!
You do it super well, you are talented, professional and very correct!"
