I worked in the higher education publishing industry of over 13 years where the products I developed ranged in discipline from nutrition, biology, anatomy and physiology, medicine to geology, history, chemistry, and more. My hand in this content spanned scientific and medical illustration, concept development, instructional design informed by learning theory, art direction, and concomitant creation of print and dynamic digital deliverables. This work was matched in my authoring of detailed title proposals, creative briefs, project plans, complex budgets, and more. I managed an art department and large pool of freelancers, interfaced with subject matter experts, product teams, authors and editors, and orchestrated and participated in cross-over and collaboration among various talent sets. The main objective throughout this work was to produce pedagogically effective materials. Over the past five years, I have incorporated this comprehensive knowledge and elastic experience from industry into the classroom, my creative practice, and my scholarship.
