Over the span of 20 years as a designer in the children's book publishing field, I have had the pleasure of working with some of the best authors and illustrators in Canada and the U.S.
As part of the publishing team, the designer guides the visual aspects of a book project from initial concept development and art direction through type design, page layout, cover design and final production.
Here are a few of the wonderful books I have been a part of recently.
