She graduated in graphic design from the Willem de Kooning Art Academy in 1992, and has worked as a freelance illustrator since then.

In 2002, when illustration jobs were few, De Haan started making her own autobiographical comics. She has published these comics in the Dutch small-press scene and in literary magazine Passionate. She self-published her (semi-)autobiographical work in collections like 'Teevee Blablazee', 'Hokjesdenken' and 'Kreukelzone'. She is also the creator of the cocky fly duo 'Brom & Vlieg', whose adventures have appeared in a couple of mini-comics.
'Brom & Vlieg' in Villamedia magazine. Translation: "A report about the Napolitan maffia, is that something up your sleeves?" - "Napels? Sure we wanna travel there." - "Yes." - "The next day." - "If we keep flying we'll be in paradise... in five days! Twee metres high garbage in every street. Perfect!".
Since 2004, De Haan writes music reviews for Zone 5300 and is also a mediator for the Zone 5300 Agency since 2007. She is for hire as a quick-draw artist for businesses and administrations. Her work received admiration from political cartoonist Theo Gootjes.
