PUCK PAASSEN
Visual Development & Storytelling
Nice to meet you! My name is Puck, and I'm a freelance 2D illustrator and animator. With my work, I visualize (and actively contribute to) the communities and subcultures that inspire me.
In both my personal work as my client work, I work on projects that bring people together and make them feel seen. Be it through a laugh, a moment of recognition, or by making people think about a topic they might not have considered before. I love stories and ideas that are relatable, a little weird, and make you feel like you've found your people.
My message is simple: get in where you fit in.
