Friends Along the Way
This project is an illustrative children's book aimed at introducing children ages 5–7 to complex social topics, such as immigration in an age-appropriate and accessible way. The book supports young learners in recognizing both their own experiences and those of others. This approach deepens understanding and encourages compassion in readers as they explore important social themes.

I'm Sofia Coronado, a graphic designer with a passion for blending illustration, photography, and mixed graphic styles to create visually compelling stories. I specialize in designing event posters, merchandise and packaging—projects where creativity meets purpose.
My inspiration is rooted in the world around me: music, people, and the energy of everyday life all inform my creative process. I especially enjoy capturing a feeling or statement—whether through a photograph or my own hand-drawn illustrations.
