Overview
I'm a book designer and digital artist who's been working in the publishing industry for over 15 years. I've spent the majority of my career at HarperCollins Publishers where I'm currently art directing, and have created covers and interiors for Little Brown, Delacorte, Algonquin, Bloomsbury, Razorbill, Greeenwillow, and Egmont.
I work primarily on YA fiction, and especially enjoy sinking my teeth into YA fantasy, sci-fi and thriller. I'm obsessed with typography and love rendering type in 3D!
I've had the pleasure of working on some very successful books, most notably Veronica Roth's Divergent and Carve the Mark series. Other heavy-hitting authors I've worked for include James Dashner, Michael Grant, Rick Yancey, Jodi Meadows, Kelley Armstrong, Megan Whalen Turner, and Tim Green.
