It all started when…
My name is Aafke and I was born and raised in the big and colourful Mexico City. Folk art, bright colours, nature, good food and a pet dog - my childhood recipe for happiness.
I moved in 2007 to Amsterdam and created a new colourful home.
My freelance life began in 2012, I found my passion in storytelling and have been working for many exciting clients. Now, I want to pursue my self-initiated projects and take my illustration and storytelling to another level!
My current studio is located in the Transvaalbuurt (Oost) - Here you can find me and dog Tjido, working on illustrations, making cool risograph prints and/or hosting workshops and events.
Would you like to collaborate?
Do you need a visual or illustration?
Or would you like to visit the studio?
