Book Development and Production
Working with stakeholders, publishers, freelancers, undergrads, and vendors, these illustrated books created a foundation for the visual identity of artists, group shows, and historical events. The success of these projects was achieved through a healthy amount of organization and management of timelines, budgets, assets, and expectations with teams of all sizes.
