My journey started with a burning passion to create. What I wanted to create? I wasn’t sure yet. The only thing I knew for sure is that I wanted to make an impact.

I’m Caitlin Bongers, an Illustrator, ceramist and content creator from the Netherlands.

With a background in ecological fashion, I have a great eye for detail and quality. I think there is perfection in imperfection and I love to add ‘rough’ edges to my work. I want to include my love for nature and minimalism in my ceramics and am working on usable merchandise made from my illustrations. I hope my work will inspire others to be mindful about how we impact the environment, while providing a fun atmosphere to create in!

Next to that I hold great value in authentic crafts, but also embrace the new techniques that are developing constantly. I think the combination of traditional and digital techniques in illustration is fascinating and I want to keep experimenting with them! With my ceramics I like to experiment A LOT and because of this I have a huge variation in designs. Old designs may or may not come back, but this is also the beauty of handmade ceramics!

Although my work and products are a huge passion of mine, I also wish to inspire and educate others. My YouTube plays a huge factor in this on which I talk about the mindset of being a creator and taking care of yourself. I also show various techniques that I frequently use in my work and take you with me in the experiments that I try out. Showing my successes and failures both are important to me, so it shows others who might be interested in a career like mine that you don’t have to be perfect.

I love the connection I have with my followers. So feel free to leave me a message on Instagram, or send me an email to chat with me ♥

I’ll try to answer as soon as I can!
