illustration, 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 on different levels. I work mostly with private clients, museums and publishers on historical research and design-projects. I also advise heritage institutions how to bring their collections to the public via original presentations and storytelling techniques. In the future I plan on working on a variety of projects to discover new ways of bringing art and 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, medieval revival). Illustration and graphic design related research hold a special place in my heart.
