Welcome to my creative space
In addition to running a farm and cheese production with my family, I am also an illustrator. I have illustrated three children's books and am eager to further develop my style and abilities to illustrate more picture books. If you want to have a look at my illustration, you can find them in my Portfolio. I also sell prints in my Teemill shop.
In my blog I write about all things illustration. How to get inspiration, build a portfolio and much more. I hope you will follow along.

Getting started on my portfolio
As a children's book illustrator, having a portfolio that truly reflects your style and abilities is crucial. A bit scary to think about, really. However, I've set a goal to improve my portfolio to make it stand out. I want to share my process and some tips with you as I go along. Let's dive into the real work!
Crafting a Children's Book Illustrator Portfolio
In the world of children's book illustration, I have learned that your portfolio is a powerful tool. One of my goals for this coming autumn is to refine my portfolio, which currently feels a bit random.
Searching for inspiration
After seeking advice from ChatGPT, I realized it would also be wise to look at portfolios of other illustrators I admire for inspiration. There are a few illustrators I follow repeatedly on Instagram and YouTube. Don't worry, I'll link to their portfolios below.
