Hi! I‘m Yette, a design student based in Potsdam, Germany.🌷 After successfully building up my illustration Instagram account in 2020, I took a much-needed break from social media in October 2023 to rediscover a deeper purpose in my illustrations, which I felt I had lost.😞 The serendipity of the moment led me to the „Picturebook Lab“ course at my uni. Here, I discovered my passion for sharing inspiring stories through illustration, aiming to empower children to grow into courageous advocates for a brighter tomorrow.✨

I am leaving Instagram. There, I said it. After almost 4 years of endless work on this account, this passion project of mine, I have decided to leave. Yes, I am super scared. It freaks me out to leave such a big part of me behind, it scares me not to know what is next, to not know who I am without. But I know It’s time for a change, it’s time to make space for new beginnings🧡 👉🏼I need your help👈🏼 I will be closing my shop but I have so much stock left, that I need to sell first. There are loads of vibrant, colourful high quality products like greeting card sets, enamel pins, stickers, notepads, prints and 2024 calendars that want to find new homes. I can custom print any illustration of mine for you, even if it’s not specifically in the shop - just dm me. 🪩For that purpose am starting a huge clearance sale today so if you want to support me - or if you wanted to get your hands on some products - do it now since they will probably never come back🪩 In all honesty: I don’t know if I’ll come back, nor when that will be if I do decide to return. All I know is that I want some space in my life, space simply for the sake of space at first and then maybe for something new. I have learned so much and I am forever grateful at the opportunities that this account and you all have mad possible for me - so thank you from the bottom of my heart. With gratitude, a warm hug and a wide smile: Cheers to the unknown 🧡 Yette 🫶🏽 P.s: I am well, I am healthy – don’t worry 🧡
