A Bubble’s Life

A children’s picture book that follows a drifting bubble through shifting environments. The project explores wordless storytelling to create an emotional and atmospheric reflection on growth, fragility, chance, and release.

The Cloud’s Whispers

A children’s picture book centred on the relationship between a girl and a talking cloud. The story focuses on quiet moments of wonder, encouraging a reconnection with imagination and everyday experiences.

Ready for Skiing

An educational illustration project that adapts the Valley Children’s Healthcare mascot, George the Giraffe, into a guide for beginner skiers. The work addresses anxiety in first-time learners, including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), through a supportive and character-driven approach.

Clear visual sequencing and gentle interactions position the character as both instructor and companion. The project explores how illustration can function as an accessible tool for learning, reassurance, and inclusive design.
