Heather Rogers, America's Preeminent Presidential Doodler
Heather isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler by one of her favorite authors and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. (Has she mentioned she’s related to Presidents Adams and Coolidge…?)
