Hailing from Boston, Agent 005 joined the wagon train and headed West, where she has rustled up over 25 years of experience working the vast expanses of magazine and book publishing. Specializing in design and layout, and handy with a fountain pen, Agent 005 is currently working undercover at the highest levels, creating book templates, setting pages, and optimizing image files. Rumor has it she occasionally steps in at command central, but that information is unverifiable.

Agent 005 holds a B.A. in English and a B.F.A. in Printmaking from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. During the past number of years she has been spotted honing the time-honored art of bookmaking at the San Francisco Center for the Book.
