Kirsten Murray

I had the pleasure of working on the illustration and hand lettering for Wonderbox, a free activity pack designed to support kids’ wellbeing, encourage them to explore their curiosity and build their confidence through creativity.

Working collaboratively with the insanely talented art director Kirsten Murray I created visuals for 3 separate issues, on a wide range of weird and wonderful topic. Safe to say we had plenty of fun with this project.
