What an amazing year! There have been many changes since last I’ve posted. First, Disney Publishing went through a big one: moving to the Disney offices in California. Never thought I would live anywhere except New York, but I accepted the relocation offer and have since become a Senior Producer. Along the way, I’ve had incredible opportunities to produce some fantastic digital books and interactive products (details below). It’s been a fun ride so far – looking forward to what 2013 brings!
