I'm a designer and children's book author. I have been a freelance illustrator for 18 years. My interest in fair trade drew me into working with a number of non-profit projects and in 2007 I was listed in Time Magazine's DESIGN 100 for the design work I've been doing for People Tree. Since then I have also begun writing children's books, my first book A BIT LOST has been translated into 35 languages and has won awards in 12 countries including the Dutch Picture Book of the Year.
