Cindy Mangomini is an illustrator from the Netherlands. She’s been drawing for as long as she can remember.

She went to art school where she studied illustrative design, focusing on children’s book illustrations. After graduating she started working in fashion. First as a visual merchandiser and later opening up her own boutique. But she soon realised that selling clothes was not her real passion, she liked drawing them much more. During her time as a shop owner she started her Mangomini blog where she posted drawings of what she wore.

These days she still likes to draw pictures of what she wore, but mostly works freelance for a variety of international clients. She also sells her own line of paper goods (including cards and calendars) and is a regular contributor at Hello Giggles.

Her work is playful, light-hearted and colourful and is designed with one goal: to put a smile on your face. All her illustrations are hand drawn, using a mix of materials, including ink, gouache and watercolour.

“Mangomini” is a nickname that got out of hand and is now unstoppable.

She does not normally refer to herself in the third person.
