Hey! Nice to meet you! I’m Arina designer and owner of Petals & Pixels.
Get to know Petals & Pixels Let's work togetherAbout the owner
Hey! I’m Arina. I’m from the south of the Netherlands and live in a city called Heerlen. Which is famous for it’s mining history, but also for street-art and the CulturaNova Festival. My boyfriend and I renovated our home together, it’s not completely finished, but we’re getting there. I loved the creative process of it. I work from home in my home office which I also designed myself.
In my spare time I love singing: I sing as a soprano in a choir. I also love my weekly yoga class which helps me relax. Recently I discovered bouldering, so that is on my mind as well. I love doing my nails, hair and lashes, love to go to the massage parlor and I love a shopping spree. Also, I’m a foodie, so I love going out to eat and discover new foods and sometimes we host a dinner-party.
Experience
As a teenager I discovered the internet and design programs. I think I was about 14 years old. I started making websites on a Dutch community website and discovered Adobe Photoshop. That got me excited to start the Communication and Multimedia Design Bachelor studies on Zuyd University.
24 years later I am still passionate about Graphic and Webdesign. After working at different companies, I knew I was ready to start my own business. I love being creative for the businesses that share my interests. I love helping other women with their creative goals and getting their business to the next level.

For hosting I work together with my friends from RayIt. They provide web-hosting for competitive prices with a fair use policy. They own their own servers which are located in The Netherlands. Let me know if you need hosting and I will arrange it for you. Rayit also helps me with complicated front-end coding challenges.
Webwriting and content
For SEO-friendly copywriting (search engine optimization), creative writing I work with other creatives. So if you need these services I can provide them for you.
Photography and video
If you are based in the Netherlands, I can arrange a photographer for your project. When you live in other parts of the world, we can always find beautiful stock photography and videos to take your design to the next level.
