Info
I love to draw, so studying illustration at the art academy seemed logical. Since the end of 2010 I’m working as an independent illustrator and animator, with a studio based in Amsterdam (The Netherlands).
I am interested in commercial, non-commercial projects and creative collaborations. ![]()
