Editorial Designer & Content Director | Publishing & Curriculum Design

I'm an editorial designer and content director with 5+ years of experience taking print and educational publications from concept to finished, print-ready product. My work spans full book layout, workbook and curriculum design, and presentation systems, with deep hands-on skill in Adobe InDesign: paragraph, character, and GREP styles, master pages, and template-driven production workflows built for scale. I've directed a complete reading curriculum overhaul that grew into a standalone publishing system across 48 titles and four learning tracks, designed a full interior book layout for a classic literary collection, and built reusable visual systems for educational presentations. I bring both the craft (clean, considered typesetting and layout) and the direction (coordinating writers, illustrators, and instructional designers to keep a project's voice and visual identity consistent from first draft to final file). Let's talk about your editorial, publishing, or curriculum design project.
