3.12.2024 | It’s beginning to look a lot like…
Can you believe it? It is already December and that means the holidays are not far away anymore. If you plan on spreading some love with my postcards this year, I advise to order them on time. As every year please consider that the post services can come with some delays, so keep that in mind. My shop will be open until Saturday, the 14th of December. After that it will go on a little winter break and opens the doors again in the beginning of 2025.
13.11.2024 | New square cards
My shop is filled with a couple of new square postcards that show flowers from all over the world. The flower ixora from Mexico, chicory from Germany or cosmos from Canada, to name just a few. Next to that there is also one A6 card filled with 12 flowers. You can purchase the square cards as single items or safe some money and get them in a set.
21.08.2024 | Malerweg
I am back from a gorgeous multi-day hike called the Malerweg in the Saxon Switzerland / Elbe Sandstone Mountains. It translates to the Painter’s Path and is a truly inspiring experience, not just for artist like myself btw. I tried to get my sketchbook out as much as possible during the hike but I am also still busy with capturing the unique sights from this journey now. I hope I can share a new travel illustration post about this adventure soon. For now I left you some impressions of me and the stunning surroundings.
23.07.2024 | Upcoming holiday
Due to my upcoming holiday my shop will be closed from 1st – 19th of August 2024. Make sure to order your products before that time in my shop here.
20.06.2024 | New website
It is finally here: my new website! After some months of working on a new layout and set up I am really happy to share my new online platform with you. A lot of elements I took over from the old website, but I also changed and adjusted bits and pieces here and there. Next to being mobile friendly (finally!) my site shows a clear set up on what studio katipeifer has to offer now. You also get extra insights through a new page called sketchbook where I will share sketches from my travel journals and sketchbooks. I think it makes it even more personal and shows what I love to do. Observe and capture the beauty of everyday encounters and the little things in life, may it be at home or during travels near and far.
05.01.2024 | Hello 2024
Happy New Year! I hope you all had some lovely holidays and a good jump into 2024. Yesterday I shared some thoughts about last year and being an entrepreneur on my Instagram, so feel free to check it out here. On another note this new year means that it is time for my new postcard calendar with 12 hand illustrated plants from around the world. And what better way than starting this new adventure around the sun with a little shamrock for hope, love and a little bit of luck!
There are still some calendars left in my shop. Get them here!
08.12.2023 | Christmas card set
It’s Christmas time! That means take it slow, enjoy a warming cup of tea or hot chocolate and share some love. And what better way than doing so by sending someone a sweet message during these dark and cold days. This year I didn’t make new Christmas cards but since I have a lovely collection of old designs I decided to offer them in a set. So you can surprise more people at the same time and send some love and kindness through a postcard.
04.10.2023 | Postcard calendar 2024

Some new ceramic pieces arrived in my shop today! Say hello to a pencil holder with a beautiful crackle effect in mint blue, a lovely bowl inspired by honeycomb and two plant pots.

03.05.2023 | Mother’s Day card ideas
Mother’s Day is coming up soon! I made a little gift guide on my Instagram to give you some ideas on how to show your love and gratitude with a card this year. And it is not just any gift guide. Inspired by the gorgeous style of Wes Anderson I created my own little world of symmetry and colours…and oh what a joy it was. See for yourself here.

17.11.2022 | Postcard Calendar 2023
So happy to share my newest product with you that you can get in my Etsy shop from today on. An item that I planned on adding to my collection for quite a while already. This A6 calendar is made from 100% recycled paper and shows 12 different flowers and plants from around the world. I collected the originals as pressed flora during my travels and for this project I illustrated them with coloured pencils. And there is more to it. You can use this calendar as a wall or desk calendar. After the month is over you can use the monthly card as a postcard and send it on its way.
14.11.2022 | Christmas shop
From today on my Christmas shop is open! Next to my existing winter and Christmas collection you can find some new plant illustrations and a new product that is not just a card but also a Christmas bauble in one: The Christmas pickle.

21.10.2022 | Kitchen inspiration
Recently I had a little photo shoot to show my postcards in use at home. How about adding the cards of my series MY CUP OF TEA in your kitchen or dining area? Or send them to a friend as an invitation for some quality time with a warming cup of tea or coffee.
13.09.2022 | Autumn collection
My Etsy shop had a short break but I am happy to let you know that it is open again! Perfect for the coming season I also launched my autumn collection with 5 postcards. Prepare for a little mix of fall findings like an oak leaf, an oak nut, a little moss and the beautiful dor beetle. In the end I combined all four illustrations in one pattern postcard. You can purchase them separately or safe some money on a postcard set of all 5 of them.
29.08.2022 | Book Cover
This spring I got the opportunity to illustrate my first book cover. The book is called WHOSE LAND IS IT? by the researcher Wybren Nooitgedagt. It is a dissertation about feelings of territorial ownership in settler societies. I loved using watercolour to shape a map that holds much more than you might see at first glance. Find out more about the project here.
04.02.2022 | Hello 2022
Goodbye 2021 and hello 2022. Last year was an important year for studio katipeifer, because most importantly my shop finally launched and some new products were welcomed in the collection. I want to thank everybody who supported me, may it be by purchasing products from my shop or helping me along the process. I am looking forward to new projects and I am excited to see what 2022 will bring for my business and my little shop, which is by the way open again!
16.11.2021 | Sant-a-card
HoHoHo, my Christmas shop finally opened its doors!
I launched a variety of Christmas cards, in little sets as well as single cards. Under the name Sant-a-card you will find postcards that focus on the winter and Christmas season. As the name speaks for itself you can send them to your loved ones but feel free to also keep them for yourself. One set is inspired by nature and shows the beauty of pieces from a pine tree. The other one is focussed on home and shows essentials for a cozy Christmas time: a tree, warm cookies, a little souvenir from a nature walk and a cup of tea or hot chocolate. Check them out here in my Etsy shop!
21.10.2021 | Hello autumn
Autumn has arrived and with it a big variety of pretty tones in red, yellow and brown. When I am not wandering around and admiring the beautiful signs of autumn I am working on some new cards for the coming months. Stay tuned!
01.10.2021 | Commission: Beauty like Maya
So happy to finally share with you this wonderful commission I worked on in the end of last year. Nura from the beauty salon BEAUTY LIKE MAYA was looking for a logo and brand design that reflected her main business values: women empowerment, trust and community. To keep the branding personal and relatable I used samples of Nuras and her daughter Mayas skin tones to arrange the colour palette. Click here to read more about this brand design.

23.03.2021 | Spring wallpapers
Hello spring! Last weekend we welcomed a new season and to celebrate this I created two new phone wallpapers for you.

Behind the scenes I am busy with the preparation of my webshop, where you can get your hands on my postcards and ceramic pieces. I am happy to have found some eco-friendly packaging materials to make sure your orders arrive safely without creating too much impact on nature. I also decided to reuse old boxes and packaging materials for my shop, to keep the valuable resources running and create less waste. Can’t wait to have the shop open and send out the first packages to you!
10.02.2021 | Commission: Wedding card J&L
Say hello to these little fluff balls called Stamper and Boris. I had the honour to create the wedding cards for their owners Jasper and Linda who got married last autumn. I am really happy to share the final result with you today. Click here to see the wedding invitation cards J&L, the thank you card and the sticker. And not to forget the logo, that was inspired by the two bunnies.
05.01.2021 | Hello 2021
Happy New Year to all of you! I hope you had some nice Christmas days, even though it might have not been the kind of holidays you are used to have. Now that we finally said goodbye to this weird and crazy year I really hope that 2021 will bring more happiness, more hugs and more contact with each other in person again. And personally I can’t wait to travel again, visit family and friends and make more steps with my label. As a little gift I created two phone wallpapers with my illustration PINE CONE. Read more about it in this post and how you can get your hands on it.
18.11.2020 | Long time no see
Lately it got a bit quite around here, but nonetheless I have been working on exciting projects and my webshop (which unfortunately takes a bit more time to launch than I was hoping for). A new commission is in the making as well and I can’t wait to show you what it is about.
In the end of September I went some days away to Spa in Belgium where I had some time to do nice walks, explore nature and focus on drawing. This dor beetle was one of the creations. For more illustrations of Spa you can take a look here.
22.08.2020 | Holiday
Time for holiday! At the moment I am taking a break and “vakantie in eigen land” (in English: holiday in own country) is the theme of this years summer holiday. After that I will open my online shop where you will be able to buy postcards and ceramic pieces made by studio katipeifer. Check here already two products that will be for sale: GRAPEFRUIT and UP-DO.

27.05.2020 | Travel Newsletter
Last year my friend Jolanda started to work on her dream to move to China and live and work there. To keep family and friends up to date on that adventure she started a newsletter. I illustrated the elements like banners and separators as well as a portrait of her to give the newsletter a unique and personal look. Last week the design launched, check it out here.
19.05.2020 | Exciting delivery
I recently got an exciting delivery with a product that will be for sale soon. Stay tuned!
18.03.2020 | Four years
It is time to turn the next page. Studio katipeifer became 4 years old in the beginning of this month and in the past year I had some exciting projects to work on. Some of them you can see already in my portfolio and others will be revealed in the near future. At the moment I am focusing on illustrations and I am working on an exciting commissioned project. Seeing the current situation we are all facing at the moment I want to wish everybody good health and please take care of each other and yourself.
29.01.2020 | Wild things
I love to collect floral finds during my travels. I have quite a collection by now and I love to go on a floral journey to places I visited in the past like New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Canada, Chile, Budapest or New York.
22.01.2020 | New projects
Recently I added two more ceramic projects to my portfolio as well as some illustrations from my trip through Chile in the beginning of 2019. Here you can find out more about FROST and MATCH. If you fancy some travel illustrations from Chile, click here.
14.01.2020 | Hello 2020
Happy New Year! This mixtape truly shows one of the highlights of my 2019: exploring new corners of our beautiful globe and being on the road. No matter if I discovered one of the most breathtaking landscapes I’ve ever seen in Chile, got lost in the big city life of NYC or stayed close to home, adventure is out there and I can’t wait to see more of it. I am planning to use this inspiration boost to create new products and illustrations in 2020 and to share this wanderlust also with you.
07.08.2019 | Freckles
Summertime is freckles time. To stay in the spirit of the season I created seven espresso cups called Freckles. They are made of speckled clay and you can check them out here.
07.05.2019 | Work in progress
Here you can see some tests I made for the second product in the line of FLORAntastic storytelling. A collection of products to preserve stories that are connected to flora. The plant I am using for this product is called Madagascar Jasmine (Stephanotis floribunda).
09.04.2019 | Chile illustrations
At the moment I am working on some illustrations inspired by my journey through Chile in February and March 2019.
17.03.2019 | Three years
A bit later than normal, but happy birthday to three years of studio katipeifer. I spend the last couple of weeks travelling in Chile, where I fell in love with all the colours and the diversity of the country. Since travelling is such a big part of my life, I also want to include it more in my projects and with a big inspiration boost from my last trips, I hope I can share some results of it soon with you.
13.02.2019 | Ceramic meets illustration
Ceramic meets illustration. These are some first tests to illustrate in clay with engobe. Today I also posted a work in progress project inspired by my journey through Canada in autumn 2018, where you can also see some illustrations: Canadian woods.
07.01.2019 | Hello 2019
I hope you had a wonderful year of 2018 and enjoyed the cosy Christmas days with your beloved ones. I wish you a wonderful and happy 2019…to good health, to new adventures and travels, to a creative new chapter, to happiness, fun and laughter and to precious moments with family and friends.
23.10.2018 | wheel thrown porcelain
The past summer I joined a porcelain course and practised among other techniques how to make wheel thrown objects from the white gold: porcelain. I posted two results of this course on my portfolio page, so feel free to check them out.
26.06.2018 | Four & sugar pot
I added two new ceramic projects on my portfolio that I was working on in the last months. It contains my first wheel-thrown series FOUR, made of beautiful anthracite stoneware clay and a sugar pot with a lid.
01.03.2018 | Two years
Happy business birthday! It is so crazy to realise that it is already 2 years ago that studio katipeifer became a company. I am looking forward to a new business year with new projects, more adventures and showing you even more of the world and how I see it.
05.01.2018 | Happy 2018
With a little throwback to last year and my best 9 (or most liked 9) Instagram photos of the past year I want to wish you a happy and creative 2018. Studio katipeifer became one year old, I finally found a lovely ceramic workshop in Utrecht and I started to learn some new techniques with clay. Furthermore I discovered new places in the world and fell even more in love with the botanics that surround us. I hope this results in a new year with new products and more adventures…
06.11.2017 | Stamp
I got my very first stamp of my logo. Today I did some imprints and even though it still needs more practise I am very pleased with the result.
02.10.2017 | New adventures
Since the middle of September I am following a ceramic course in Utrecht to learn how to work with clay on the potter’s wheel. A totally new technique for me, but also so much fun to explore and to work with.

24.03.2016 | Business cards
They have arrived…my very first (real) business cards. After years and years of doing all the steps on my own, including cutting and printing I decided to handle these really professional and give some of the steps out of my hands. And I am really pleased with this decision.
21.03.2016 | Spring
01.03.2016 | The adventure begins
Some big steps were made last week. I registered my business and I am happy to announce that from today on studio katipeifer is officially a company. Not long anymore and the first products will be for sale. I will keep you up to date, so keep an eye on this website and my Instagram.
17.02.2016 | Sticker
Finally, it is done. The sticker for the package of my cups ANABELLA arrived fresh from printing and I am really happy to share the result with you. Just a few little adjustments left to do and then the complete package will be done and purchasable soon.
31.12.2015 | Guten Rutsch
It is already the end of the year 2015. A lot to look back at and even more to look forward to in the new year ahead of us. I planned some exciting things for 2016, but for now I keep them secret. Today is about celebrating with family and friends anyway, which is why I want to wish you all a “Guten Rutsch” as we say in Germany.
08.09.2015 | All about ANABELLA
At the moment I am working on the last bits of the package from my ANABELLA cups. The final outfit is taking shape and I hope it will be done this week! I am also planning to post some new photographs of them soon. Here is a tiny sneak peek of what I have in mind.
27.08.2015 | Back home & back to business
I have some incredible and inspiring weeks behind my back and now that I am here again it feels a bit like a dream. Luckily I have proof in form of thousands of photo’s, sweet little findings I took with me and a little sunkissed tan on me, that (let’s be honest) unfortunately will not last as long as I would like to. Especially with this grey weather in this city. During my trip I found the luxury of not spending a lot of time on the internet and social media, except from one platform I could not keep my hands off: Instagram. If you would like to take a glimpse of my past weeks then click here. And if you want you can also follow me there (next to here in my journal katipeifer) to be up to date all the time. While you do that, I will go back to business and work on some lists and plans for the future.
06.07.2015 | Southeast Asia
Next to all the changes in my life at the moment I have another great adventure in front of me. It is time to go on a new journey and get some new influences and inspiration…sketchbooks are packed and the camera is ready! From the beginning of July till the mid of August I will be on an exploration of Southeast Asia. Have a great summer!
24.06.2015 | Moving (on)
It is time to move (on)! A couple of weeks ago I made some decisions that have quite some influence on the future. One of them includes a change of scenery, because I am moving to a new place. It is time for me to say “Houdoe” to my student city Breda and go on new adventures in a bigger city with new opportunities and new influences that will hopefully also have a good impact on me and my work. I will temporarily move to Leiden and around autumn it is the plan to move to the new home city called Utrecht, nice and central within the heart of the Netherlands. I already moved a lot of stuff and I am also happy that the cups of my tea set ANABELLA survived it all in one piece. More news are coming soon!
11.04.2015 | Photoshoot
Yesterday was one of the first really nice and warm days in the Netherlands and even if I could not really enjoy it outside, I had a good and especially productive day anyway. I temporarily rearranged my room to set it up for a photo shoot to realise a photo for my contact-page. By the way I also joined Instagram…happy to be part of a new platform to share my love for photography, design and travel.
20.03.2015 | New logo
Spring is here, a time of transformation and new things. The days get longer, the temperature rises and nature blossoms. In time with spring I want to give my website a new jacket. I have been working on the branding of katipeifer.com and today I can introduce the new logo to you. Exciting times and I am really happy about it!
03.01.2015 | Hello 2015!
After a more (businesswise) quiet year of 2014 I want to make a change in this new given year. I learned and realized a lot about working and trying to handle my own starting business next to it in the past year. And as a result of this I want to make some changes. Some new plans and ideas are developing at the moment to keep me more in the flow and give this ‘baby’ a greater way for the future. I am excited for this adventure… let’s have fun and enjoy the ride!
02.05.2014 | First commission is done
The package of the wedding invitations is complete and ready to send.
09.03.2014 | Going graphic!
At the moment I am working on a new project for my very first real clients. It will be a wedding invitation, including the whole package of card, envelope and logo. The final design is coming soon and I will keep you up to date in my journal.
31.01.2014 | Featured on a website
Perfect ending for the first month of the year…I got featured on the website Industrial Design Served with my tea set.
