She also participated in small press publications like De Lijn (edited by Johan de Rooij), amateur webcomic portals like Daily Danger and events like 24 Hour Comics Day in Lambiek. Ringelberg studied Comic Design at ArtEZ in Zwolle, where one of her teachers was Hanco Kolk. Ringelberg contributed to several editions of the institute's anthology OOGST (and was editor for two of them), and also worked with Margreet de Heer on the lettering of the English edition of De Heer's 'Philosophy: a Discovery in Comics' (2012).
