The Butterfly route
Commissioned for Michelle Lamphere, 2017
The book cover design was commissioned for Michelle Lamphere, her book was a travelogue from her journey from South Dakota to South America on a motorbike.
The inspiration for the book cover was a literal and symbolic narrative from the book. The butterflies signified excitement, a new beginning and freedom.

Initially butterflies were not a part of
the book cover. I suggested adding the illustrations as butterflies were an important imagery as well as symbolic representation of the story itself. Michelle loved the idea and that's when the butterflies were added to the next batch of printed books.
