Yale University’s “The Science of Well-Being for Teens”

This 6-week course, taught by Dr Laurie Santos, illuminates the secrets and misconceptions of happiness, and brings together the best insights from the popular Yale course “Psychology and the Good Life.”

I was honored to help transform her class to be geared towards teens. I created over 40 custom illustrations that visually represent psychology terms and concepts. The illustrations are presented throughout the video course.

“Sofia is a dream to work with because she is talented, prompt, and kind. We collaborated on a series of 40+ illustrations for a social science course aimed at teenagers. Sofia brought abstract and complex psychological concepts to life with her joyful drawings! The end product not only benefited from her artistic skill but also her intellect and humor.”
