Hi, I'm Melissa, a children's book illustrator, author, and visual storyteller based in Amsterdam. I help authors, publishers, and businesses bring stories to life through engaging illustrations, memorable characters, and professional book design. Whether you need a complete picture book, cover artwork, spot illustrations, character development, educational materials, or page layouts, I can guide a project from concept to final publication. My work combines traditional artistic foundations with digital techniques, allowing me to adapt my style to the needs of each project while maintaining warmth, personality, and strong visual storytelling. I work with watercolor, pencil, ink, and digital media, selecting the best approach for each client and audience. As both an illustrator and a published author, I understand the entire creative process behind a book. This experience helps me create illustrations that do more than look beautiful—they support the narrative, enhance emotional impact, and keep young readers engaged from the first page to the last. My experience includes: • Children's picture books • Book cover design • Character design and development • Full-page, double-page, and spot illustrations • Educational and learning materials • Activity books and workbooks • Book layout and formatting • Print-ready publishing files I have written and illustrated my own published children's book and am currently working on several upcoming titles that will be published in collaboration with authors and a Spanish publishing house. Clients appreciate my reliability, clear communication, attention to detail, and collaborative approach. I believe great books are built through teamwork, and I keep authors involved throughout the creative process to ensure the final result matches their vision. If you're looking for an illustrator who can combine creativity, storytelling, professionalism, and a genuine love for children's literature, I'd be delighted to hear about your project. Let's create something wonderful together.
