Author Ree Jackson
Brand identity, creative direction, book design & digital production

Rie Jackson and I have known each other since the beginning of my career at the University of Michigan-Flint, first as colleagues and eventually as close friends. Writing had always been important to her, and after experiencing a difficult workplace environment, she decided to share her story in hopes that it could help others facing similar experiences. When she asked me to help bring Reject Revolution to life, I was honored to be part of something that meant so much to her.

Starting with the Reject Revolution name Rie had created, I developed the visual identity for the project, including the color palette and signature “R with an Arrow” mark. I designed the book cover and extended the identity across social media graphics and other promotional materials, creating a consistent visual presence that could support both the book and the larger message behind it.

My role also extended into the publication itself. I took Rie’s completed manuscript and designed and prepared it as a digital book that could be sold online, helping take the project from a written document to a finished publication and recognizable brand.
