Rachel Clark has worked in various design roles over the past eight years and has found her place in publishing. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and has been able to grow tremendously over the past few years with Penguin Random House. She enjoys the research, development and refinement of each book, and delights in seeing the design process unfold from a good idea to a great publication.
Emma Jakicevich has a wide-angled lens on the world of Graphic Design, with experience across marketing, advertising and digital design. In 2015, Emma started as Marketing Designer at then recently merged Penguin Random House before transitioning into Book Design as part of their Local Publishing team. Over the last 2 years Emma has worked across a wide range of books from children’s picture flats, board books and young adult fiction to station books and lush coffee table reads. Emma loves the permanence of book design, giving her the ability to design beautiful objects which don’t disappear, have the ability to sit on someone’s shelf for years to come with the possibility of becoming someone’s favourite.
