Dreaming of a partner in crime to make your brand pop?
Sounds like my kind of dream.
I’m Klaartje — illustrator, live artist and visual storyteller for bold brands with a taste for colour, character and a little chaos (the good kind). I create art that dresses your brand like its best outfit ever: tailored, striking and full of personality.
Since launching my studio in 2018, I’ve turned sketches into stories, designs into conversations, and clients into fans — from fashion labels to lifestyle brands, from intimate events to international campaigns. I once designed a full line of carpets from scratch, and yes, they almost made it to Salone del Mobile in Milan (until a certain global pandemic had other plans). Still counts.
You’ll find my illustrations gracing ELLE Magazine, adorning packaging, living on walls, and starring at events where the dress code says “wow” and the mood says “art, but make it fabulous.”
I’ve stumbled. I’ve soared. I’ve ignored advice, sent gutsy emails and somehow ended up with my idols in my inbox. And honestly? I’m most proud of the moments where I stepped over invisible lines and did it my own way — with heels on, probably.
Fashion as an attitude
I don’t just illustrate fashion — I think in fashion.
Bold lines, brave palettes, confident figures. My work celebrates subjects who don’t hide, don’t shrink, and definitely don’t apologise. They believe in themselves, and they show it — preferably in colour.
Whether I’m live illustrating at your event, designing a mural, creating packaging that begs to be displayed, or developing visuals that express the soul of your brand — I’m here to elevate, celebrate and empower. Especially women. Especially through beauty. Especially with humour.

Let’s skip beige. Let’s go bold.
And if we can make someone smile, gasp or screenshot it for later? Even better.
Client feedback

my word for it
