This was around the time of the presidential election, and I wanted to be involved in the coverage of the news, so I asked my coworker for an introduction to one of the art directors. I didn’t start editorial design until 2016 when some of my colleagues were freelancing with The New York Times. By the time I graduated college, I was able to secure a designer position at Vintage Books of Random House. I took a book cover design class with Gabriele Wilson at Parsons, and then became her intern to learn more about designing in the publishing world. It was junior year of college when I realized that book cover designer was an actual full-time job, and it was the first profession that I had an emotional connection to.

I was an avid reader and always took special notice of covers. LaGuardia High School - but how did you get into book covers and editorial illustration? So, you grew up with formal training in the arts via studying at Parsons and Fiorello H. The gig: Designer & illustrator at JoWoHo, her own art studio The interviewee: Joan Wong (follow her on Insta !)
