Hi I’m Bonni!

Hi, I’m Bonni van de Wouw—a designer, illustrator, and maker with a love for bold colors and a touch of Scandinavian flair (thanks to my Norwegian roots). I hold a BFA in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Seattle and started my career in publishing and commercial printing. Over time, I grew my passion for illustration into Modern Vintage Design Studio, my small business where I turn drawings into everything from greeting cards to accessories.

When I’m not sketching or designing, I’m cheering on my two amazing boys, Waylon and Hugo, and my equally cool bonus kids, Noah and Cole. Most of my free time is spent on the sidelines watching them play sports or hanging out with my partner, Jeremy, who always has my back. Born and raised in the PNW (with a Montana chapter in between), I’m a true Pacific Northwesterner and a diehard Mariners fan. Go M’s! ⚾💙
