Hi, I’m Kwennie!

I create visual stories at the intersection of illustration, journalism and data

  • Data illustrations, charts, maps, motion graphics and visual essays that explain complex topics. From election results to geopolitics, across print, broadcast and digital.

  • Editorial clients including Nieuwsuur, Dutch broadcasting network NOS, newspapers such as NRC, as well as cultural institutions like the Maritime Museum Amsterdam.

  • Data-driven editorial teams where independent work and collaboration with people from different disciplines push the stories further.
