Thanks for checking out my very first newsletter. Fall is here and I've been cozied up in Brooklyn in our collaborative workspace, Friends Work Here, doing all kinds of fun projects. I'm excited to share a few highlights with you.
Enjoy!

HUGE BOOK NEWS!
In case you missed it on social media... I signed a 2-book deal with Scholastic!
"Andrea Davis Pinkney at Scholastic has acquired, in a five-house auction, author-illustrator Lori Richmond's BUNNY'S STAYCATION, about Bunny, who unsuccessfully attempts to foil his Mama's business trip, and creates his own adventure instead. Publication is scheduled for 2017." See the full announcement in Publishers Weekly.

DESIGN UPDATE
Even though I'm busy with books, I'm also actively doing design projects. Wine Enthusiast asked me to design an e-commerce site (I can't share it yet!) and I'm working with various startups. I even did a printed piece for the Consulate General of Switzerland!
