Deone van Onselen

I am a South African designer currently based in China, specialising in structured, print-ready educational materials for early learners.

I focus on creating clear, engaging worksheets and activity pages that support learning through strong layout, typography, and visual hierarchy.

With a background in administrative work, I bring a strong attention to detail, organisation, and consistency across all my designs. This experience has strengthened my ability to work accurately with structured content, manage multiple tasks, and maintain high-quality standards under deadlines.

I enjoy combining creativity with structure to design educational resources such as worksheets, tracing pages, story-based activities, and STEM-inspired learning materials.

My goal is to create designs that are both visually appealing and easy for children to understand and use independently.
