VISUAL HARVESTING - Key Persons


Iris Maertens

Iris let her creativity run free at the drawing board during her childhood. Her focus on drawing increased when she studied at the Royal Atheneum of Fine Arts and later while earning an MFA in Graphic Design. Iris started working for NGOs and tried to develop the most effective techniques to change mindsets and behaviours. In her work as communications coordinator for Greenpeace International, she became fascinated by the power of storytelling while creating emotive campaigns and where illustrations bring stories to life. She worked for a range of organisations and causes in a variety of styles, both digitally and at the drawing board.
