Book Illustration: Sustainable Interior Design

I was commissioned by RIBA Publishing to illustrate the book Sustainable Interior Design, by Brighton-based Interior Designer Chloe Bullock. The brief was to create a full page illustration for each of the 11 chapters, as well as 2 ‘scene-setting’ double page spreads for the beginning of the book. After reading the manuscript, I identified areas or case studies which would translate well into illustration and worked directly with Chloe to ensure the illustrations were representative of her research, yet accessible and understandable for those with little prior knowledge in the subject.

"Elena worked very much to the brief, of which she fed into as well, as I wanted it to be a collaboration. I’m so pleased how it worked out. Elena was excellent to work with. Very tuned into the brief - and quick and accurate. What a pleasure to work with her - I would thoroughly recommend."
