I proudly hold the title of Art & Design Editor for First Second books. As the only full-time designer on staff I work on everything including covers, interiors, lettering, color corrections, logos, ads, catalogs, managing our great freelancers, selecting artists, and singing loudly when I think no one else is left in the office.
