Hi there!
​I’m Carolien de Rop, an illustrator living with my partner and our twin daughters in Mortsel, Belgium. Our home is a vibrant place full of creativity and chaos. I draw inspiration from everyday life and the magical world of children.
Through my illustrations, I dive into the enchanting universe of childhood. Kids’ pure and limitless imagination is crucial for their development. It stimulates their thinking, emotions, social skills, and language, helping them make sense of the world around them.
My goal is to spark this creativity and encourage children to keep dreaming, showing them that anything is possible in their imaginative world.
​
I also invite adults to take a break from their routines and explore a playful, creative world. I strive to connect the adult world with the fantasy world of children. My designs often include messages about self-love, love for others, and environmental friendliness. I enjoy experimenting with shapes, colors, and layers using both traditional and digital techniques. Humor is a key element in my work, making even serious topics more accessible.

Custom Illustrations and Design
for Businesses
If you need an illustrator or designer for your company, I’m here to help with custom illustrations, brand designs, and complete visual identities. Whether you need a fresh look for a campaign or a new style for your brand, I’m ready to assist. While my work for children is often playful and imaginative, I understand that business projects may require a more serious approach. I apply humor in different ways, such as through color usage, small details, or the style of illustration. This approach ensures that the message is not only clear but also light and engaging. I work closely with my clients to turn their ideas into impactful designs, ensuring that the final result meets their expectations. Your feedback is crucial, and I am dedicated to delivering designs that truly make your business stand out.
I’m excited to bring your ideas to life and explore new creative horizons together. If you’re interested in a collaboration, don’t hesitate to reach out.
