With the intention of publishing her first children's book, aspiring author, Leah Elson, approached me with the concept of Tilly Travels.

We worked together on creating a look for the potential book series' focus character, and once I'd sketched a style she loved, I helped Tilly come to life through some hard work and the magic of Illustrator.
