I'm a creative web and graphic designer from Groningen, the Netherlands. Born in 1984, started drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil and never stopped...
I started out as an illustrator, drawing stuff mostly by hand with pencil on paper.. I 'discovered' the power of computers way later when I bought my first mac to start recording music. I pursued that for a while but it turned out it wasn't something I wanted to do for a living. So once I dropped out of the school of music I decided to get back to my first love: drawing...
My boyfriend Rene (now husband) was a webdeveloper back then and asked me if I wanted to be a web designer. First I thought no!, because I really didn't want to go back to school, but he said I wouldn't need that and that I could learn through the power of the internet. He then taught me the beginnings of HTML and showed me where to look for tutorials. 3 months later I had my first portfolio website up and running and was ready to apply for jobs.
