original character illustration for Upbounders

For Upbounders, I created the original characters and artwork for the Ginevra & Friends Sticker-by-Number Puzzle Kit. Inspired by the elegance of a grand estate and garden party, the illustrations introduce a playful cast of children and animal companions across a series of interactive sticker-by-number scenes. Every illustration was created from scratch, from the character designs to the environments and decorative details. The visual direction combined refined historical-inspired fashion with playful animal companions, colorful gardens, and elegant interiors to create a world that felt both imaginative and inviting for young audiences.

Designed for children ages 4+, each illustration balances storytelling with functionality, transforming detailed artwork into engaging puzzles that encourage creativity, observation, and imaginative play.
