I'm a designer and illustrator with over 12 years experience in the publishing world working as a book designer. I specialize in picture books, middle grade chapter books and novels, and young adult novels, as well as branding/logos and marketing and sales collateral materials. My clients include HarperCollinsPublishers, Penguin Random House, Disney-Hyperion Books for Children, Little Brown and Company, Pixel+Ink, A Life in Print, Clemson Extension and many more. Before establishing my freelance business I worked in-house at HarperCollins Children’s Books and at AFG, a New York based advertising agency. I have always been passionate about books--as a teenager I would spend hours reading in the hidden areas of the local public library, and later during my college years, I worked at Pratt Institute’s library while earning my B.F.A. in Communication Design. Besides books and a good story, I enjoy bird watching, cultivating my home garden, practicing yoga and raising my two children in sunny South Carolina.
Listed skills include Book Design, Book Covers, Art Direction, Illustration, and 13 others.
