Empowering Young Minds Through Illustrated Learning

At AzCorp, a mission-driven social enterprise dedicated to promoting tolerance, diversity, and social justice through storytelling, I contributed as a Graphic Executve to the development of the 36-issue comic series "Sheeba and the Private Detectives".

My role involved collaborating closely with writers, illustrators, designers and editors to ensure cohesive visual storytelling. I helped develop layouts, visual assets, and print ready materials that captured the essence of each story while staying aligned with educational goals and child-friendly design standards.
