The Bliss Project
As entrepreneurs we have a lot of ideas jumping around in our heads. The challenge is to make those ideas come to life. That is exactly what Aniek did for us. When we came across her colourful work, we instantly knew that this was (and still is) a perfect match with our playful and conscious brand. From the beginning we formed a strong team. Also we felt we were in good hands. She knew exactly what colours, designs and aesthetics would fit our brand and products. With her talent and experience she guided us during several creative processes. Every time it is amazing to see that she gives the perfect creative expression to our ideas. We are forever grateful for that!

I wholeheartedly recommend her and hope we can continue our collaboration for many years to come.

Meet Me At The Wallpaper
Working with Aniek on the wallpaper collection for Meet Me at the Wall has been an absolute joy. From the very first sketches to the final designs, the collaboration felt natural, clear and genuinely fun. Her work is full of creativity, colour and character, with a strong sense of authenticity that makes every design feel unique. What I truly appreciate is how easy and reliable she is to work with, agreements are always honoured and communication is open and clear. Aniek brings a wonderful mix of creative energy and professionalism, and she is incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. For me, this collaboration feels like the beginning of many more beautiful collections to come, first, let’s take this one to great heights.

Sometimes you have the luck to meet someone that sparks magic. That is how it feels when you work with Aniek. To start, she is a highly skilled and very professional designer and she is able to bring concepts to the real world. But as she mixes this with her passion to bring sparks to kids’ lives while also having a big heart for the natural world around us, you get a unique mix. For me, this was a collaboration that flowed. Aniek turned out to be a perfect match for me and my impact company, that focuses on connecting kids to nature. Both on a professional and personal level. Aniek is an absolute joy to work with. And that is why I am looking forward to our next project together!

MrStarsky
Working with Aniek Bartels on our collaborative MrStarsky star map has been a truly inspiring experience. Together we created a deeply personal children’s keepsake: each unique sky is dressed in Aniek’s visual language, an ode to nature and Mother Earth. The constellations that appear on a given moment come alive in a joyful parade underneath the sky, illustrated as characters celebrating the natural world. From the first ideas to the final artwork, the collaboration felt as teamwork and was both structured and very enjoyable. Aniek works with clarity, honours agreements, and communicates openly and thoughtfully. She listens carefully to feedback, respects shared goals, and confidently offers her own perspective when it strengthens the result. What connects us is a shared belief in nurturing children’s love for nature from an early age, combined with a commitment to quality and sustainability. We are so happy with the outcome of our collaboration ánd with the journey and are looking forward to many more meaningful creations together.
