Student Narrative
A book created as my final project for Andrea Dezso’s Sketchbook Studio. In an attempt to spark meaningful conversations with my peers, I asked friends and family to tell me about something that had made them smile recently. This piece collects their responses and pairs them with illustrations inspired by their stories, and will hopefully serve as a reminder that joy exists in the everyday.
