Creating this cookbook was a true start-to-finish project and one of the biggest creative undertakings of my career. I helped shape the concept, art directed the visual style and photography, collaborated closely with David Venable, designed more than 250 pages, retouched photography, and prepared the files for print production.
Projects like this are what I enjoy most—bringing together many moving pieces, solving problems along the way, and watching an idea grow into something people can hold in their hands. As someone who loves cooking and happily considers herself a foodie, getting to combine those interests with design made this project especially rewarding.
