Hello!

Welcome to my little corner of the internet, I’m so happy you are here. This is the place where I share my creative work, my knowledge and my heart. Let’s get creative together.

Inspire Equip Encourage

Hello! I’m Riëtte, a quiet creative with loud ideas. I enjoy illustration, surface pattern design, lettering & calligraphy and playing with paper. My favourite part about creating is finding ways to use my designs on products, which is why I started creating gift boxes and bags and cards with my designs. I’m also learning how to create pop-ups. You can find my designs on products on Society 6, RedBubble and Spoonflower and printables in my online shop.

Sharing my knowledge with others makes me happy, I share tutorials on my blog and YouTube, teach classes on Skillshare and online. I’m so happy to meet you, thank you for being here.

Monthly mail

I send out an email on the 15th of every month with goodies and info about what's going on around here. I would love for you to join.
