Hi!
My name is Soscha Kikken. I am a Dutch visual artist and graphic designer.
I was born with a penchant for arts and crafts, which later developed into an interest for art and design. I'm a fan of anything with colour, textures and lines, really.
As an artist and designer, I love the freedom I experience of being able to create anything out of a blank canvas. There are no rules as there are in the physical world. Anything is possible, which makes creating so much fun!
To be able to call myself a professional designer, I first studied Graphic Design at the PXL-MAD School of Arts in Hasselt (BE). There I obtained my BA with a focus on Illustration. During these years I also studied at the Bower Ashton Campus of UWE Bristol as an Erasmus student.
I decided to complement my conceptual and theoretical knowledge with more practical skills. This I did at the T2-campus of Syntra in Genk (BE), where I studied DTP and Graphic Design on a professional level for another year.
Lately I've been rediscovering my craftsy side. I'm experimenting with different media where I leave the digital world behind to dive more into the tactile one. One of the techniques I've been enjoying is embroidery.

In my spare time (and during work) I greatly enjoy listening to music and podcasts. I think of it as my daily soul fuel.
I also love to saunter through woods and mountains, and capture that beauty in photographs.
Lastly I enjoy moving about, be it dancing, skating, yoga or another form of exercise. It makes me feel good and strong.
