About the Client
John Meese is a traditionally trained economist turned serial entrepreneur and author. He is on a personal mission to eradicate generational poverty by inspiring entrepreneurs and views entrepreneurship as the most effective path to worldwide change.
About the project
This is the hands-on guide to adapting your existing business, and/or building a new business, in response to the current economic crisis, which became more important than ever when COVID-19 hit.
John approached Emily to illustrate some of the key concepts in this debut book after working together on past projects for Platform University.
Process
John already had a clear vision of the desired style and contents of for each illustration, which made this project go quickly and smoothly. John provided examples and direction in a shared Notion document, and I uploaded files as we progressed through the drafts. Eventually, we settled on final versions, and the illustrations were sent to print with the book, which was slated for release in July 2021.
