Work experience

Sounds True

Aug, 2016 — Present

I played an instrumental role in shaping and executing creative projects across diverse formats, including books, children’s books, and card decks. I collaborated closely with illustrators, freelance artists, copywriters, and editors, providing leadership throughout all stages of production to ensure the seamless transition from concept to completion. In this role, I took ownership of designing and directing layouts, overseeing color correction, and preparing final files to meet stringent quality standards. My expertise in using templates, style sheets, and master pages ensured visual consistency and excellence across projects, while my management of prepress processes guaranteed that all materials met production specifications for both print and digital formats. Additionally, I manage prepress processes, ensuring that all materials meet the necessary specifications for final production. Through meticulous attention to detail and collaborative spirit, I contribute to the creation of engaging and inspiring content that aligns with Sounds True's mission of disseminating transformational knowledge.
