Play It Forward
I was invited by Chronicle Books to illustrate the cover and 25 chapter openers for Play It Forward, a collection of twenty-five inspirational stories about incredible women from across the sports world, curated by TOGETHXR.
Each illustration was crafted to feel unique and full of movement, while staying true to Togethxr’s bold color palette and visual identity. It was important to honor each woman’s story, enhancing her presence rather than overshadowing it. My goal was to give every chapter its own distinct visual energy, while still unifying the overall tone of the book and creating a dynamic, engaging experience for readers.
