I draw stuff every day
The name is Stephan Hilbelink. I'm a seasoned web designer and illustrator in West Michigan.
Art is my life so it made sense to make it my career. The web captured my attention & it evolved into an obsession. My desire is to design user-friendly & good-looking websites. I enjoy trying out new, innovative CSS & Javascript code, & coming up with funky new uses for them.
This site is assembled with Coda using HTML, CSS and jQuery.
My Work
Eat. Breathe. Create.
My professional career began in 1994 as an illustrator of newspaper ad images. Over time, the web became a huge part of my everyday work. I enjoy creating identities, characters, web designs and illustrations. Every project me a great challenge and helps me grow for the next one.
Design is constantly changing. Daily, I pore over sites and blogs for the newest trends & styles. I also keep pace with the new features that my tools have to offer.
In my downtime, I enjoy painting and drawing, reading art history/philosophy, kayaking (when possible), play banjo (poorly), music and spending time with my family.

The Poddingen
The Poddingen are a compilation of two of my favorite things: papercrafts and my iPod Touch. The Poddingen are iPhone/iPod Touch stands for where ever you sync your device. The name, Poddingen, comes from Pod (duh!) and 'dingen', which is Dutch for 'things'.
Feel free to download any or all the Poddingen. The collection will grow so keep checking back.
