I had the exciting chance to be part of this book's creation by crafting visual diagrams and a journey map to aid in teaching our clients. It was such a thrill to see our work showcased during the book launch, especially when the journey map was enlarged to create an immersive experience for our clients. Seeing our contributions come to life in that way was truly rewarding!
