Cari Vander Yacht’s creative career started out with her thinking illustration wasn’t a “real job”. Instead she decided to study design at university, which led to getting a job soon after at Wieden + Kennedy in Amsterdam where she soon became an art director. “I ended up hiring a few illustrators for a project and that interaction made me realise illustration was indeed a job where people didn’t just survive, but thrived and I started shifting gears,” explains Cari. “My free time became dedicated to pushing my illustrations more and, thanks to the magic of the internet, people started to hire me.” After more and more illustration commissions, the creative eventually moved to New York to fully dedicate herself to her new career.
