Harleen and Andrew Cook are a dynamic duo who have co-authored a powerful and thought-provoking graphic novel that draws from their real-world experiences and diverse careers. Their collaborative work is rooted in a profound friendship that has evolved from being work “Buddies” to life “Buddies,” with a shared commitment to always having each other’s backs.
Harleen, with her deep knowledge of both science and economics, holds Master’s degrees from both the London Business School and the University of Oxford. Her professional journey spans strategy and finance, where she has pioneered solutions for a low-carbon future. Her dedication to education is unwavering, and she strongly believes that learning makes us human. Harleen’s passion extends beyond the pages of their graphic novel as she advocates for creating a better world and securing a brighter future for the coming generations.
Andrew brings a distinctive perspective to their collaboration, drawing on over a decade of experience in the intricate landscape of global commerce and sustainability. He holds certifications from esteemed institutions such as the University of Oxford and Harvard Business School. Andrew’s expertise lies in driving positive change through sustainable business practices, making him an inspiring figure in environmental and economic sustainability.
Together, Harleen and Andrew co-founded Imprint.live, an inspiring social media platform that advocates following principles over people. Their mission is clear: to empower young adults to use their voices and inspire positive change in the world. Their graphic novel delves into the unsettling intersection of social media and eating disorders within a modern dystopian sci-fi narrative.
Outside of their creative endeavours, Harleen, Andrew, and their two children, along with their loyal Labrador Rusty, reside outside London. They share a vision of a world where authenticity and positive change can thrive, and they hope their book encourages readers to reflect on their mental health and social media behaviour, ultimately empowering them to lead healthier lives. For Harleen and Andrew, every life is worth living, and their work reflects this core belief.
