Tina DeJarld
Chicago, Illinois
Tina DeJarld has worked on the front lines of taking designs from the computer screen to real-world production since before InDesign 1.0. She is highly accomplished in graphic design, production art, and prepress, with a particular passion for building files that work correctly in real-world conditions.
She has handled thousands of large and complex projects, becoming an expert in InDesign best practices and techniques, and has been a coauthor of Adobe InDesign Classroom in a Book since the 2018 edition.
Tina is currently a senior graphic designer at Heartbeat, a Publicis creative agency, where she creates materials for clinical trials. A core part of her work is building English master files that can flex efficiently for translation into other languages—especially those that require more text—while minimizing manual adjustments.
