Submission Illustration

Illustrative Project : Kristen Kish, Top Chef winner, Culinary Journal for kids

I just finished working with Kristen Kish, the top chef winner, in collaboration with Upwork on an illustrative project.
Acclaimed chef, top chef winner, author and TV personality Kristen Kish is on a mission to help kids to go on the journey of self-discovery, using the medium that was so essential to her own path: cooking.
My role as an illustrator is to create an original character of a gender neutral kid who is bold, smart and creative in cooking for a range of printed and digital publications. 
The reason why I felt this project is important is because I spent 12 years in Kenya, teaching art to international and local students. This is where I find a lot of children's books do not feature African, Asean or minority ethnic characters. I believe that books are the place where all kids need to see themselves representated.
