Hi, I'm Nienke.

Before becoming an illustrator I got my master's degree in Communication Science. I worked as a marketing professional and projectmanager within the design field for more than 10 years. But after a decade of working in a creative field, I was itching to start creating myself again. 

​

Now I get to have the best job in the world! Drawing, painting, testing art supplies and sharing all that creative knowledge in workshops, online and in collaboration with brands. 

​

As an illustrator I get inspired by the city and its people. I always have a sketchbook in my bag, so I can draw anywhere. I love drawing the diversity of people and the little stories that I see every day. 

​

Some random facts about me? I love to color coordinate things, I drink lots of tea and I'm a proud book nerd.​

​

Want to work together?
