She discovered her love for drawing at a young age, but initially chose to study fashion design at WDKA. After working as a fashion designer for several years (Vlisco & King Louie + interning at Viktor & Rolf and Chloé), she decided to switch and pursue an illustration career to live a life with more mindfulness, creativity and meaning.

Her narrative illustrations are soft, colorful and focused on creating a positive vision of the future for people, animals and the planet. In her work she's making the viewer more aware of the beauty of nature and of the power of emerging in nature. By exploring possible narratives she create awareness for a more inclusive and sustainable future. In warm tones she paints worlds of food forests, vegetable gardens, communities, plantbased food and free people & animals.

Katinka works with different mediums, both digital and manual, including (but not limited to) procreate, pencil, ink, gouache, risography and ceramics.  She's interested in illustrating for sustainable companies, to collaborate in creating either products, editorial work, (vegan) cookbooks and/or educational books, to make the world a little brighter.
