- Illustrated diverse children's books focused on themes such as emotions, emotional intelligence, and educational skills. I worked closely with authors to visually interpret these concepts, creating characters and scenes that resonate with young readers. My work emphasizes engaging storytelling through expressive illustrations that help children understand complex ideas in simple, relatable ways. - Developed illustrations and concepts for board and card games and educational kits for children. This included brainstorming game mechanics and ensuring the illustrations were both playful and educational, aligning with developmental goals for different age groups.
