Launched: The Life of Olympian Herb Douglas


In the summer of 2019, I had the honor of designing Launched: The Life of Olympian Herb Douglas in collaboration with the Senator John Heinz History Center. The biography begins with Douglas’ bronze medal in the 1948 Olympics, which launched his career and paved the way for many other African American athletes and entrepreneurs. The story is beautifully captured by author Anne Madarasz, editing by Brian Butko and Liz Simpson, and proofing and indexing by Margaret Hewitt.
