BIO / CASSIE VU
I’m Cassie Vu (formerly Cassie Gonzales), a native Houstanian who has been living in New York for over a decade. I have a BFA from Pratt Institute, where I discovered my love for hand lettering and late night deli sandwiches. I read a book a week, if not two, and I will gladly lend you anything from my robust library (unless you dog-ear your pages to bookmark them).
If you’d like me to design your book cover, draw your pet, speak to your school, take your headshot, or anything else, please email me at cassiecvu@gmail.com.
I'm currently working as a Senior Designer at Penguin Random House in the Random House art department. I read every single manuscript that I work on!
If you want to hear me talk about my design process, you can listen to the episode of Slush Podcast Designing Books with Cassie Gonzales. See more interviews here, here and here.
For artists and illustrators sending portfolios: Though I am forever a lover of children’s literature, please note that I no longer work regularly in the YA or middle grade space!
