Work experience
Self-employed
Book art direction and design (including ebook conversions, full re-designs, and illustration editing). Some notable projects were with Burnt Cheese Press, Aubre Andrus, LLC. (author and classroom speaker), and the Literacy Network. I've worked with a variety of clients including independent authors, artists, bloggers, advertising agencies, start-ups, and non-profits. There isn't much that I haven't tackled in the 15+ years as a designer (both editorial and advertising!) Proudly, my greatest accomplishment is having influenced so many young minds and inspired many generations through my content and editorial designs.
