Head at news organizations: Philadelphia Weekly, The Wall Street Journal and WSJ.com. Her parents are professional bookbinders in Princeton, NJ and she grew up as their apprentice learning about handmade book construction, restoration and specialty binding from a very young age. Cyndi's archiving includes work with The Wall Street Journal, WSJ.com, fashion companies, celebrities, visual artists, WWII Nurnberg Trial memorabilia, memoirs, genealogies, private recipe collections, private run books, and countless old crumbling photo albums! She has won awards for her photography and art direction from Kolo Album Company, How Magazine, The Society of Newspaper Design and the Alternative Press Association.
