At Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (NWEA), I created illustrations and laid out assessment testing booklets and manuals. I also helped enhance web accessibility by ensuring WCAG 508 compliance.

As a Senior Graphic Designer at Llewellyn Worldwide Publishing, I designed book covers and interior illustrations, and created marketing and advertising pieces. I also supervised freelance artists from concept to final product.
