Netherlands-based Visual Designer specialised in\u00a0Illustration<\/b>\u00a0and Animation<\/b><\/p>

I create illustrations and graphic designs for\u00a0advertising campaigns,\u00a0packaging,\u00a0and\u00a0editorial\u00a0projects for various companies. I also collaborate with animation studios, working on\u00a0animation,\u00a0background art\u00a0and\u00a0character design\u00a0for\u00a0animated projects.<\/p>

I love creating fantasy worlds inspired by my emotions and senses, where I conjure characters that do not exist in reality. They have freedom to create their own stories, unique experiences and adventures in this world. I\u00a0hope to light up people\u2019s hearts by the world I made, even if it is just a little bit.<\/p>

As an artist, I like to have mixed feelings and emotions. As a human being, I want to be a stupid happy winner out of millions of sperm on this chaotic planet.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
