Hi there, I’ve read your Illustrator Brief for the reflective storybook designed to accompany a counselling training presentation. I’m confident I can translate the journey of growth into simple, emotive visuals in a soft, pencil/ink sketch style inspired by Charlie Mackesy. I bring strong experience in 2D illustration, graphic design, and art consulting, with a focus on minimal backgrounds and warm, human lines that invite reflection rather than polish. Here’s my plan: develop a concise storyboard showing the girl with the tangled string, sketch a series of 8-12 gentle illustrations that evolve with her growth, establish a calm color palette and textures, and deliver layered editable files in Illustrator and Photoshop along with a print-ready layout. I’ll provide concept sketches first, then refine based on your feedback to ensure the visuals support your counselling presentation perfectly. Portfolio: available on my site to review related reflective projects. I can start immediately and deliver final illustrations within about 12 days, with ongoing tweaks if needed. Let’s discuss the preferred book size, print specs, and any branded elements. Best regards, Aijaz
