Greenwillow Books
Intern and Freelancer
During my Fall (and final) semester at Pratt, I interned with Greenwillow Books, an imprint of HarperCollins. As an intern, I scanned and return-shipped original art, assembled dummies, attended Editorial and Design staff meetings, helped with administrative tasks, and did occasional design work. Design work included assisting in proposing designs for the new "Amelia Bedelia" covers. I now do work for them as a freelancer assembling their book dummies.

I interned at the Society of Illustrators this past Fall, as well. There, I assisted the staff with logging original work for exhibitions, hanging shows, and phone reception. Occasionally, I did design work for them, as well, which consisted of designing their Holiday Museum Shop email newsletter and fliers for events.

I received my degree in Communications Design with a focus in Illustration.
