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.

As a scientific illustrator, I am trained to translate complex scientific and medical concepts and procedures into clear visualizations. I have many years of experience in different areas of art and illustration, in both traditional (pencil, charcoal, acrylic and oil paint) and digital (Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender) media, plus a good understanding of anatomy, biology and medicine. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art and a Master’s degree in Scientific Illustration. My illustrations and graphics will help you to visualize, communicate and draw attention to research, education and exhibitions in different fields of science. From illustrations of anatomy and pathology, surgical manuals for either students or specialists, brochures with information for patients, to visuals for publications, books, posters, and exhibitions in museums. If you are wondering what kind of projects I have worked on so far, you can take a look at my website: jurreblom.nl (or my Behance page: behance.net/jurreblom)

Hello! My name is Diana and I am a passionate digital illustrator and designer, eager to learn and explore the new possibilities of visual communication. My background as a professional fine artist taught me to solve creative problems taking in count research, concept development, designing and delivering final products that respond to certain goals: create a wide esthetic experience on the audience, communicating an idea or message. I love strong graphic styles but I can also produce very soft delicate minimalists styles. In my daily job at present, I create vectorial assets after beautified by textures and effects I get from pixels, I like the precision of the points and anchors and the plasticity of the pixels. The number one thing I love from my job is that technologies and possibilities are endless, my efforts are focused on bringing all these wonders together through my creativity.
