Sanne Thijs was born and raised in a quaint little village in Belgium. Since she was little she has had a love for the creative. Because language, imagery and theater fascinated her, she went to the local art school.

Later on she spent several years at the MAD-faculty in Hasselt and ultimately she got her bachelor in Visual Design, option illustration in Sint-Lucas at Ghent. After her studies she settled in the vibrant Ghent to start her career as an illustrator.
