As creative director for the Mud Pie Kids catalog, I develop a creative deck for each issue. The deck defines the visual direction for the entire book, from typography and design details to photography style and mood boards for each collection.
It’s the foundation that keeps everything aligned and visually cohesive.
Below you’ll find layouts, creative deck pages, and photography from the Fall/Holiday 2025 and Spring/Summer 2026 books. I mentor a team of designers through each issue, while also rolling up my sleeves to design the covers and select interior spreads myself!
