Yasmin Van de Werf grew up knowing she wanted to tell stories. Today, she is the co-founder of Poppins & Wayne, a creative agency that aims to produce meaningful digital experiences where storytelling and innovative technologies enhance one another. Poppins & Wayne’s first production, PeaceCraft, a story-driven mobile game about young refugees, won a prestigious Henry Van de Velde award in 2019. In 2021, the studio released Pollinator Park, a virtual wake-up call about the ugly future we face without flying insects.
In addition to her role as narrative designer and creative director, Yasmin also rekindled her life-long love for illustration, with a first children’s book published in 2020.
