Frequently Asked Questions

I consider myself a global citizen. Adopted from India before the age of one, I hold a Dutch passport. I grew up in Egypt, Belgium, and India before moving to the Netherlands for my studies. While I identify as Dutch, having been raised with its values and norms, I feel more connected to the identity of a global citizen having lived in multiple and visited over 50 countries.

English, Dutch and French. 

Please reach out via the contact form  here , as I don’t use social media inboxes for project discussions since messages can easily get lost. After our initial conversation, we can communicate in whichever way is most convenient for you—online, in-person (if possible), by phone, or email. 

It depends on my planning and if I'm already fully booked. Therefore, don't wait too long to secure your spot! Contact me here to see if I'm available.  

This is my full-time job, and just like you, I have bills to pay. Unfortunately, there have been instances where I haven’t been paid for my work. To ensure commitment from both sides, I require either full upfront payment or a 50% deposit, depending on the project. 

Paying for someone's work shows you value their time and expertise. If you don’t feel my work, expertise and time is worth the investment or if it’s outside your budget, then we may not be the right fit. However, I’m open to discussing alternative options, such as installment plans, for those who need them.

Alternatively, reducing the price, means reducing the deliverables or level of detail.

AI isn’t my go-to tool for client work, but I do have experience with it. I use AI alongside tools like Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop to create the perfect design. If you’re open to it, we can explore some amazing design possibilities using AI! 

 I can design as many as you need.  

The cost depends on several factors, including the number of icons you need, whether you have existing ideas or icons that require updating, and the level of detail involved. Feel free to send me a message to discuss your specific needs, and I'll provide you with a personalized quotation! 

Of course!

Absolutely! After our intake session, where you’ll share a bit about your research, I’ll also dive into my own research on the topic. I have a broad range of interests, and sometimes, a fresh outsider’s perspective can be just what you need to create a unique and creative cover! 

I’m a designer, not a print shop :) You’ll need to have your dissertation printed by a printer, but I’ll make sure your design is print-ready. 

At the moment I don't offer this service, but if demand increases for this service I'll think about it ;-)

Each cover is custom-designed and personal, so your style might not be shown just yet. If you have any ideas or reference photos of what you like, feel free to share them, and I'll let you know if I  can create something similar in that style.

We all know the saying, " picture is worth a thousand words." Research consistently shows that humans process, interpret, and remember information conveyed through visuals much better than through text. Still not convinced?

• It only takes one-tenth of a second to capture the message conveyed in an infographic (The SAGE Handbook of Political Communication)
• You only need 150 milliseconds to process a symbol and interpreting it takes just 100 milliseconds (Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience)
• Infographics help tackle the issue of information overload. On average, we consume around 34 GB of information outside of work! (Journal of Communication)
• When color is used in an infographic, consumers’ willingness to read a document increases by 80% (Marketing Communications).

Think about: it takes baby's 12-18 months before they start saying words. That's already 12-18 months of processing things visually! 

Creating an infographic typically takes about 4 to 5 days, depending on several factors such as the availability and quality of your data, the clarity of your ideas, and the promptness of your feedback. Be sure to reach out in advance to secure your booking so I can book you in my planning.  

Are you lacking impactful stories from participants, stakeholders or other users of your project? I can help by conducting interviews to gather compelling narratives.
