Art Direction and Book Design.
Design for a book that tells the story of former asylum seekers now settled in Finland. Fourty-one portraits were set alongside personally written accounts of the refugees’ experiences. The book comes in five different covers. All proceeds from sales of the book were donated toward refugee integration in Finland.
