We're experiencing social and environmental challenges on a whole new level and solving them starts with helping people understand them. Every day, researchers, organisations, and changemakers produce valuable knowledge, but too often it stays hidden in long reports, technical language, or scattered documents.
Adding visualisations add new dimension to your work. I create visuals that don't simplify and carry the care, curiousity and humanity behind the work. Created by a human, for humans, to help people connect with sustainable actions and with eachother.
A global citizen (Dutch by passport) with a multi-disciplinary profession in international sustainable development, sociology, food systems transformation, policy and data. Next to that, I run RAANII where I combine my expertise with illustration.
What started as a personal need has grown into helping similar professionals translate their work and findings into engaging and easy to understand visuals.
I love working with researchers, startups, governments, consultancies and changemakers who are passionate about creating a more sustainable world. I enjoy creating strategic visual elements that help these initiatives reach more people.
My approach is rooted in inclusive design, human-crafted visuals (no copyright issues or generic AI slop), and sustainability, making sure everything I create can be repurposed and remain useful for years to come.

You want people to quickly understand what matters most.
You need to reach different audiences without oversimplifying context.

People can only interact with your work when it's shared in an easy to follow format.
You are passionate about your work and you want your visuals to reflect that.
Thoughtful, human-centred design builds trust and communicates the care behind your work.
