Overview
I’m a seasoned publishing pro with a passion for graphic design, art direction, and illustration—especially when it comes to creating captivating book covers! With nearly 15 years of experience, I’ve perfected the art of crafting visually stunning, thought-provoking designs that bring stories to life. While my focus has been in children’s publishing, my design aesthetic and skills translate seamlessly across genres.
My portfolio showcases a mastery of typography, composition, and imagery, each tailored to the unique narrative and audience of the project. As an art director, I’ve got a sharp eye for detail and a knack for guiding projects from concept to completion, always ensuring that the final product aligns with the client's vision. I love collaborating with authors and publishers to create designs that resonate with readers and elevate the storytelling experience.

Highlights for Children
As the Design Team Manager, I oversee and streamline design processes for multiple projects, ensuring the delivery of on-brand, engaging, compelling, and proprietary solutions. I lead a team of designers, providing guidance, evaluation, and redirection when necessary, to foster their creative development. Collaborating with department leads and cross-functional teams, I establish project strategies, schedules, and budgets, ensuring alignment with organizational goals.
In addition, I am responsible for managing external vendors, including design and production freelancers, illustrators, and photographers. I diligently monitor the output of both my team and vendors to maintain a consistent brand look and feel across all components and touchpoints of product development. Despite handling multiple projects simultaneously, I effectively manage timelines and exceed expectations.
