Babe and the Big Boys

One Woman’s Story of Breaking Barriers, Reforming Washington State Elections, and Living Life Her Way

CLIENT STORY:

Author Cathy Pearsall-Stipek isn’t just any author—she’s a self-made woman who chose to push against the establishment when no one else had the courage to do so. This marks the beginning of Cathy’s self-publishing journey as she approaches her 9th decade. Don’t tell me it’s too late to tell your story! Her story is a testament to the power of resilience and determination. It’s a story that will inspire you, challenge you, and make you believe in the power of one person to make a difference.

As a politician, Cathy had many cartoons created about her bold legislative positions, which inspired us to use a cartoon for the cover. It’s a playful nod to her impactful career and the unique way she’s been represented in the media.

PROJECT SCOPE:

We had the privilege of collaborating with the talented illustrator, David Mowry, to bring Cathy’s cover to life. The final look, a blend of vibrant colors and typography, is something we’re incredibly proud of.
