BA (Hons) Illustration
I am passionate about promoting children’s mental health through books. My aim is to empower children by motivating them to reflect on their own emotions and those of others, while equipping them with emotional management skills. I have tried to create an engaging book that takes children on a journey through the emotion of jealousy, using an entertaining and relatable approach.
Using my strong organisational skills and by responding to feedback, I further enhanced my ability to create impactful content for young readers. I have explored collaborations with professionals to use technology such as Augmented Reality.
By embracing these tools, I aim to enhance the effectiveness of my books, providing children with an immersive experience that promotes emotional growth. Ultimately, my aim is to teach kindness not only towards others but also towards oneself. I seek to inspire children to develop empathy, compassion, and self-care, creating a positive impact on their emotional well-being.
