A Gentle Social Anxiety Guide
A guide exploring social anxiety through illustration and visual storytelling
This publication grew from my own experiences navigating social anxiety. I wanted to create something that could make the experience feel a little less isolating, while offering information in a way that felt approachable and reassuring.
Through gentle editorial design, illustration, and thoughtful pacing, I created a guide for readers who may see themselves reflected in its pages.
I wanted the experience of reading the guide to feel as gentle as its message.
Each spread balances educational content with moments of reflection, using illustration, thoughtful typography, and generous whitespace to create a calm, approachable reading experience.
A Gentle Social Anxiety Guide received the Judges’ Choice Award in Layout at the 2022 AIGA UTA Counterspace Awards.
