It all started with a part-time job at an independent publisher.
In 2016 I started working at Sasquatch Books as an assistant graphic designer. Having studied both English and graphic design in college, this felt like my dream job. Three years later I was designing 10-15 books a year from cookbooks to journals to children’s illustrated picture books. Currently I work on bookish projects for Blue Star Press as a creative director. Have a book project you need help with?
