Your creativity has power. I’m here to help you see it, feel it, and run with it.  xo Nelett

HELLO, I'M NELETT

FEATURED IN

I know the design life. The briefs. The deadlines. The feedback.
The clients. The small jobs that become big lessons. The beautiful work. The hard days. And then real life on top of it — school runs, family, food, faith, feelings, and trying to keep yourself together while still showing up creatively.

Because we are not only designers. We are whole humans.

That is why Kunshuis has grown into more than a design studio. It is now a space where I share what I’ve learnt from more than 25 years in the creative industry — through my blog, podcast, membership, tools, and honest conversations about the work and the life behind it.

Not perfect advice. Real advice. From one creative to another.

Design is only part of the story—just 20%, really. The other 80%? That’s life. The faith, the hustle, the heartaches, and all those little wins that shape who you are. I believe it’s what happens beyond the design that makes you a better designer. And that’s why I’m here—to share the tools that help you style your space, organise your creativity, and take the uncertainty out of freelancing. 

Freelancing? It’s Way More Than Just Design

Incredible!
Love this Playbook. As a graphic designer, this feels like a "must have." The first section gives such informative advice and guidelines on business and ethics, the templates are super helpful. The planner section gives order to work so you can manage and plan yourself. My favourite part is definitely how much of valuable information it has, the wisdom and experience of over 20 years in the industry is priceless and words of encouragement. It's so versatile, it works for anyone in the creative industry!

Love ❤️ this Playbook. As a graphic designer, this feels like a must have! 

Your talent is a gift that can bring you joy, success, and fulfilment. Trust in your abilities—they will guide you to your own success. Keep learning, follow your path with faith, and always trust your intuition. Work to make a difference, not just to impress. Balance work with rest, and remember: God, yourself, family, and friends come first, not just your job.

MY MISSION is for you as a creative to hear again: 

Take care of your mind, body, and spirit, and your creativity will shine. Remember, as a creative, you have the power to inspire yourself and others. Don't hold back, feel insecure, or lose hope.
