The Magician's Elephant

I had the incredible opportunity to be a part of the creative journey behind The Magician's Elephant.
In the development process, my role revolved around the creation and exploration of the palace's design.
Here, I'm thrilled to share with you a glimpse into that process through a selection of sketches.
