The Work of Getting Closer is a trauma-informed, therapist-designed workbook that helps individuals build emotionally safe, connected, and healthy relationships.
Written by Dr. Randi Gray.


The largest project I’ve worked on involved designing a 300+ page workbook, complete with its cover.
My goal was to create a visually engaging layout that transformed complex content into an inviting, warm experience, far from the typical “boring” workbook design.
There were several ideas for the cover, but it all centered on two individuals mending their bond.
Puzzle pieces, bridges, and hands perfectly symbolize the work of repairing and nurturing a relationship.



Originally, I was thinking of two subjects with a pastel color scheme, but the idea was scrapped in favor of more realistic skin tones.
