Working hard over the years to help authors, editors publishers and freelance clients to transform their words, ideas into designs that reflect their vision and capture the target audience.

I currently hold a Director, Art & Design position at Penguin Random House an international home to more than 300 editorially and creatively independent publishing imprints. Overseeing a team of 11 amazing Designers and Associate Directors along with Freelance designers together we are responsible for the design of 600+ titles a year, ranging from simple 1-color to complex 4-color titles.

Designing and overseeing a range of design projects is my passion. If it is working within a budget, working within a tight schedule or tackling an innovative project, I am up for the challenge.

I love to mentor and teaching and have taught basic design college courses. I am currently mentoring and training staff members and have enjoyed doing so
through the years.

About Me

I have no favorite color or font. I individually design each project based on the content and target audience. Walking on the beach restores me, I go any chance I can get. Every day I remind myself to keep going. I live on Long Island, NY with my Husband, Daughter, Son, Dog, Cat and Turtle.
