The challenge
To create a story that felt emotionally resonant across three languages and to bring it fully to life from first sketch to printed, bound book.
What I did
The entire book was sketched and painted by hand using gouache and colour pencils on paper. After digitising and cleaning the illustrations in Procreate and Photoshop, I designed the full layout and pagination in Adobe InDesign.
What I delivered
A complete illustrated book, printed in Berlin and available for purchase in Spanish, English and German.
