Hi There!
I'm Sandy van Helden, a Dutch illustrator based in Amsterdam. Since founding my studio in 2015, I have had the pleasure of working with some amazing brands, including Uniqlo, Nike, Spotify, Google Home, Benefit Cosmetics, and IKEA. My work ranges from editorials and branding campaigns to large-scale murals and packaging.
“Sandy has an eye for visualizing generational characteristics through her alluring curved lines.”
My signature style is characterized by curvy lines and bright colors, which I use to bring stories to life in a playful yet sophisticated way. Whether it's through illustrations, animations, or installations, I'm passionate about visualizing stories and ideas for clients across all fields.
About My Work
I can provide a variety of live drawing services for events, such as mural painting and portrait sketching.
I offer two styles, a full-color style and a line style that can seamlessly blend together.
