2D Artist for the Games & Animation Industry
Hi, I am Isabella Koelman. I'm an artist from the Netherlands working for apps, games, animations & children's books. My passion is to develop art styles, IP's and to work together with other artists and creatives to bring projects to the next level.
Currently working for 'Bababoo and Friends', a German children's book company with exciting plans for the future. Will soon share upcoming books that come out. (2025-2026)
I also do art in my free time and have two big personal projects called kids. :) Follow my personal work on instagram!
