Overview

Their book comes in Chinese, Spanish, Korean, Hindi, and French, all highlighting meaningful topics such as self-empowerment, diversity, self-care, curiosity, kindness, and resilience.

Brand Design Assets
Since 2020, I established a long-term relationship working with Habbi Habbi, leading design projects, managing brand design assets, and creating marketing collaterals. I also built a comprehensive style guide and template system to streamline the production process and ensure that the 100+ titles across five languages can have a unifying look.
