Dutton Books
When I worked as a Senior Designer at Dutton Children's Books (a division of Penguin Books), I had two Designers working under me. I enjoyed the opportunity to work on such prominent licenses as Winnie the Pooh, The Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, and Dreamworks SKG (Shrek, Chicken Run, Titan A.E.).
