Esther - vonikdesign
illustrations / pattern design / murals / printmaking
Hi! I’m a freelance illustrator from the Netherlands, working with clients worldwide. Currently living in the very green city of Hilversum. My work is recognisable for its bright, limited colour palettes, playful lines, printmaking-inspired approach and retro feel. I create illustrations, patterns, lettering, riso prints and murals for brands, agencies and organisations.
I’m especially drawn to the subjects of the natural world, food & drink culture, people, and everyday humour, which I illustrate in a bold and light-hearted way. I’m happiest working with people and companies who genuinely care about what they create, can enthusiastically nerd out about their work, and are conscious of the impact they have on the world around them. Some dream projects from my wish list include working on patterned bedding, outdoor murals, snack packaging, a cookbook, or a giant illustrated puzzle.
When I’m not drawing, I volunteer at the Dutch Natural History Museum (Naturalis), travel in our campervan, befriend neighbourhood cats, or go hiking in search of a crane, kingfisher, or black stork.
You can find prints and postcards in my webshop, as well as in several independent stores in Europe. For wholesale enquiries, please get in touch by email.
More info about the passion project named Wallnuts Murals, where Lienke Raben and I join forces and design and hand paint murals together, can be found here.
