WaterWorlds
Concept design & editorial strategy + lead
Client: Benevento (Red Bull Media House book publishing arm) x Startup Guide.
WaterWorlds is a book celebrating our beautiful blue planet. It journeys around the world to delve into vastly different water environments, to listen to people deeply connected to water and learn of the issues they face, and to explore how we may create a future with healthy and healed waters and thriving communities of life.
In 2021, I was engaged to create the book’s concept, curate its content, lead the editorial team and processes, and work with the production lead and design team to create the book’s story world. I was with the project from start to finish. The book was published in Q2 2023.
