Hi there! // Hello daar!

​

Thank your for stopping by! My name is Anchen and I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator based in Potchefstroom, South Africa. I am a plant-mom, a grilled cheese fanatic and a film junkie.  I am a passionate creative, multidisciplinary designer and I love to explore different styles and modes of design and illustration. I am a loving enthusiast of the Afrikaans language and the South African people. The influence of my mother-tongue and my home country on my work is undeniable- I pay homage to these elements whenever and wherever possible. 

 

I consider myself to be curious, patient and detail oriented. I am an intrinsic storyteller and eternally excited by every possibility of narrative creation. Through illustration, I am able to tell countless tales and conjure up ​the wildest of concepts. I lean towards a hand-drawn style and I love to incorporate hand-crafted, tactile elements into my work -like collage, as you have probably noticed. I am eternally grateful for the artistic voice that illustration and design offers me with which I am able to address matters that are dear to my heart. Through my illustrations I am able to add meaning to my every day and to that of my clients!
