Hi there!
©Kim Swinkels
My name is Maud, I'm an illustrator and crafter from The Netherlands. I have been a crafter since birth - take this with a grain of salt -, but recently my hands have been producing non-stop! On top of that, my absolute dream job is packing cute webshop orders. Well... that is if you exclude working in a bookstore. Anyway, it seemed like a perfect moment to finally follow my dream and open up my very own shop.
I love books, cats, my friends and drawing cute girls. So, that is exactly what you will find in this my physical store and this webshop! I make stationery, bookish items and of course, the product I'm proudest of: the Friendbook!
I can't wait to expand the products I offer.
When I decided to start Maudboard & Books & Crafts, there were some non-negotiables for me. This is an Gen AI-free webshop. I also aim to work as much as possible with recycled or recyclable materials, or products I already own. In the future of this webshop, I aim to expand this further. I hope to be financially able to print all of the products myself in order to guarantee the quality and the impact of my products on the environment.
Another longterm goal of this shop is to make it a loving, positive, and inclusive space that encourages creativity and provides a little escape from the - often scary - reality. I will be building up my collection over time. As long as not everyone feels represented in my art, my work is not done. So, I wish for your support on this journey!
