One afternoon, I received a call from Author, Amy Hanna, which sounded much like this, "Liz...I need your help! I just received the proofs for my book. It's not me; it's not at all what I want. I can't have it look like this. 'They don't get me.' Can I show you the proofs to get your input?" I said, come over and bring me everything. Once, seeing Amy's frustration and concern, I said, "How about I design a few pages the way you want the book to be so you can help the publisher better understand your vision and style? Amy was thrilled. Since her meeting with the publisher was the next day, we had to get to work immediately.

 

And so we begin working, through the night until 6 in the morning. "Nothing like 10 hours of intense creativity, pressure, and a little chocolate to bond a friendship. " Amy was thrilled with the results. The publisher was so impressed with how I captured Amy's vision, that they called me directly, asking if I would be interested in being hired on as the production designer of the book. It was an incredible and challenging 6-month journey and one that Amy and I will forever cherish! Love you, Amy!!

​

It was a true delight working with Amy and seeing the thrill on her face to see her dream come true seeing her published book on the bookshelves of big box bookstores.
