KITESURFSHOP HAARLEM x STUDIO KRIZZ
Sometimes things just click. When Bob from Kitesurfshop Haarlem and I met, it was immediately clear that something special was about to happen. Two brands with a shared passion for the sea, the wind, and the sport. That raw Dutch North Sea energy. The one you feel when your hands are freezing but you can’t stop smiling. That’s what we set out to capture. The artworks tell the story of our coast line: strong winds, choppy waves, and rough skies. But they also stand for something bigger. Together they form a tribute to our women in kitesurfing The inspiration: the first ever Women’s edition of the Redbull Megaloop.
PROLIMIT
When Prolimit reached out to me to design their new collection in collaboration with Space X kitesurfing, I immediately knew it would be a perfect fit. I started by capturing Space X’ playfulness & skills as they were full on experimenting with short lines in Capetown. However, they also expressed their wish to pay tribute to their home spot. No tropical palmtrees, no sun, no flat waters. This design shows their love for the extreme kitesurfing conditions in the Netherlands.
NAISH
NAISH reached out to me with their wish to create new merchandise. Bold & edgy was what they were looking for, and bold & edgy we delivered. Capturing NAISH' three key disciplines while incorporating their existing brand colors was a true pleasure.
JBAY SURFHOUSE
At the end of last year, I saw an Instagram post by JBAY surf house I had been following them for a while, admiring their work. JBAY surf house is a nonprofit organisation based in Jeffreys Bay, Capetown. Their mission is to create a place for children to feel safe, have fun and simply be kids. When I saw that they were looking for volunteers to help with graphic design, I instantly offered to help. The goal was to create merchandise, that could be used to generate profit for their organisation and build towards their dream of a buying house. In close collaboration with JBAY's founders, I created these two illustrations. You can find more about JBAY surfhouse mission here. ♥︎
ART BY EVE
Over the Summer of 2024, I created a new clothing collection for Art by Eve Curaçao. This collection is a tribute to the many vibrant colors and species of Curaçao and its native language, Papiamentu.
CREW MERCHANDISE
In the beginning of 2024, I partnered up with beach bar, kite and surfschool "de Hangout" to create their very own crew merchandise and celebrate the opening of their new season. For me, the design wouldn't have been complete without the legendary bunker, classic Dutch windmills and ofcourse, their epic path through the dunes. Earlier that year, I created the newest addition to Ometepe Kite Center's collection of merchandise. Inspired by Ometepe's lovely volcanoes, birds, monkeys, sunsets and, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful kite spots I've ever seen.
