👋 Hi

I am Sarah Vanbelle, an Antwerp based illustrator and designer. I make playful, easy readable 🔎 and well thought out illustrations 📏 

I draw for a wide range of clients: brands, publishing houses, advertising and communication agencies, non profit organizations, cities, magazines, newspapers, and more 🎺

I care about diversity. I show a wide variety of people in my illustrations: people of color, strong female* figures, lgbtq+ people 🌈 disabled people, etc. And I love to think out communication strategies for people who can use some  visual guidance behind language 👀

When I’m not behind my desk I teach 👔 play around in sketchbooks ✏️ experiment with riso machines and cardboard ✂️ buy too many children’s books 📚 eat vegetables🍦and drink snobby coffee 🕳

I’m always interested in new projects, so I’d love to hear from you 💌
