Designing and illustrating a Debut Book

From Manuscript to Memorable Debut

In our collaboration with Simple Snails, we guided the layout, design, and production of their publishing debut. Our mission was to translate Hannah’s storytelling into a visually engaging book, combining illustration, print production, and interactive elements to create a memorable experience for readers
