Sonia Persad

I seek to use my big voice to help authors assert their personalities.

I was born and bred in Trinidad, West Indies. That means:

I'm friendly!
I love food! A fed me is a happy me. Mmmmm food...
I pronounce my Ts.

I like talking to people and finding out what makes them Them. I aspire to leave a trail of brightness behind me, though an initial shyness tempers my talk-it-ivity! I LOVE reading and books generally, and have a fascination with magazines - fresh doses of graphic design and culture. I love traveling (once there's running water and bathrooms involved) and the green outdoors fulfill my peaceful insides...and, food! Oh, how I love food. Making it, eating it, looking at stuff that contains it, designing around it...it's all yummy.

Graphically-speaking, I love everything I've tried, but Branding, Editorial and Book Publishing all Interest Me Greatly. I now work designing cookbooks (mostly) for the Clarkson Potter imprint at Penguin Random House.

Check out my work! If you like, please touch base here - I'd love to hear from you. If you'd like to see a resume, that's here.
