Hi! I’m Jade. If I had to describe myself and my work in a few words, it would be something like whimsical, cheerful and colorful. I love playing with color and texture and figuring out how to use that to tell a story. Or in short; ‘I just do something and hope it gets cool’. I live in Geldermalsen with my husband and 2 fluffy Norwegian forest cats Broodje and Sencha. In daily life I work part-time as an animator/illustrator at an animation studio in Tilburg and the rest of my time I am a (children’s) book illustrator. I am a big tea lover and like to cook (and eat). If I have extra time (which is unfortunately quite rare) I engage in hobbies such as ceramics, gardening and paper recycling.
