Hi, I’m Marlies — a surface pattern designer and illustrator based in the Netherlands, creating colorful, playful illustrations in a nostalgic, vintage style for the juvenile market.
My work blends bold colors, whimsical characters, and retro-inspired details designed for textiles, children’s products, stationery, wallpaper, gift-ware, party supplies and more.
Whether you're an art director, brand, or manufacturer, I offer a growing portfolio of surface pattern collections available for licensing, collaborations or custom design.
If you're looking for artwork that adds charm, joy and a spark of imagination — you're in the right place.
