Senior book jacket designer, St. Martin’s Press

My Greatest Accomplishment:

Designing a new series of covers for a favorite childhood author of mine, New York Times bestselling author R.L. Stine.

How Drexel Helped:

Drexel’s Graphic Design program literally taught me everything I know about print design. I learned how to use all of the computer programs in my field and took classes in many different kinds of design: typography, packaging design, photography, poster design, portfolio design, and most importantly for me, book design. I was also active in Drexel’s Greek system. During my time as an undergraduate member of Delta Phi Epsilon sorority, I learned invaluable leadership and time management skills.

Where I’ll Be in Five Years:

Professionally, hopefully working as an art director in the publishing field. Personally, doing some traveling and starting a family with my husband and fellow Drexel alum Mark Christopher ’08!
