The concept
CoverCub was a web app where parents could choose from a curated library of stories I wrote myself, and turn them into a personalised, illustrated book where their child becomes the main character.
The parent picked a story theme (bedtime, courage, first day at kindergarten, etc.). Uploaded a photo of their child. Added name and a few simple details. Chose an illustration style.
Behind the scenes, I used AI to generate the illustrations based on my pre-written stories and page templates, so the storytelling quality stayed high and intentional, while the visuals and character were adapted to the specific child.
I wasn’t trying to “invent” personalised books. I was trying to do them better: deeper stories, more tasteful illustration, and a smoother product experience.
