​i​llustration, design and research

As an illustrator and art historian I want to tell stories and help others tell theirs. Illustrated design is a great way to communicate with on different levels.
        My dream job would be to work as an art director at a publishing house or museum, to design books or an exhibition. In the future I plan on working on a variety of projects to discover new ways of bringing illustrated design into the three-dimensional world.


​After finishing my education at AKV St. Joost I pursued a more theoretical path at Radboud University to deepen my understanding of my line of work. 
​During my studies I specialised in researching visual communication processes in art. I graduated cum laude with my thesis 'From Image to Imagination: On J.R.R. Tolkien's Illustrations and World-building in The Hobbit​'.
        My academic interests lie mostly with art of the modern period (ca. 1850 - contemporary art). Illustration and graphic design related research hold a special place in my heart.
