Annie KingArt Director
New York, NY
I began working at Scholastic in 2021 and have been the art director for Scholastic News for grade 1 ever since. Designing a classroom magazine is so fun and I find so much inspiration in imagining how our young readers will react to each page. Working on this title is the best!
