She calls herself a “book shepherd,” leading and helping other authors through the self-publishing process. In addition to the books she’s designed (mostly picture books which she’s also illustrated), Wendy also has her own novel series called Somewhere In-Between, exploring her personal interest in the paranormal. She graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art where she now teaches continuing education courses for teens and adults.

#58: design, creativity, and the three g’s

Robin Landa holds the title of Distinguished Professor in the Michael Graves College of Kean University in Union, New Jersey. She’s also “creativity guru” who champions her students, advocates for industry inclusion and equity, and provides scholarships for meritorious students or students in need. Robin’s expertise is in creative advertising, branding, graphic design, and social media. Her 26th book, called The New Art of Ideas: Unlock Your Creative Potential, will be published this fall. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to her. She is intelligent and engaging, but also modest and very down to earth. Not to mention her comprehensive knowledge of her field and her ability to write about it clearly.
