My work in books and publishing has been varied. I've done some editing and proofreading work, plus I've done design and illustration work, which is pictured below.
For the book design work, each book included interior text layout, cover design, and adapted ebook designs. For the illustration projects, I illustrated in Procreate and finished by adding all text and creating the cover designs.
Bleeding Heart Confetti was a complete design project.
I was contracted by Legacy Press Books to design the full cover and the full interior layout.
I also designed the ebook.

Mama Moon was my second children's book illustration project. This was such a sweet and special project which I was honored to be a part of. I was hired by Nicole Morgan to surprise her husband, Connor, with a published book based on a poem that he'd written for her and their little girls.
I illustrated the book in Procreate and did all of the text layout and cover design.

Sunshine in a Mason Jar was a complete design project.
I was contracted by Legacy Press Books and End Game Press to design the full cover and the full interior layout.
I also designed the ebook.

Life on the Farm at Eight was my first children's book illustration project. After doing only book design, layout, and editing, this was such a fun new project. It had originally been written and drawn by Timothy Rouse for a college project, and as a surprise gift, his wife had it re-illustrated and officially published. I was able to base my illustrations on his original colored pencil drawings and then lay out the book.
I worked with Legacy Press Books and Timothy's wife, Monica, to help her self-publish it on Amazon as a gift to him.
