Misumi USA tasked Streng Agency to update their Japanese catalog for the American market. The end result was a 4,170 page catalog with a four inch spine.I was the lead designer on this two and a half year project and in the production trenches with three other designers. Eight years prior Misumi had their Japanese catalog translated to English. In those eight years lots of products had been discontinued and added. This meant every single product SKU had to be researched using the current Japanese catalog and MisumiUSA.com website. We were given marked up catalog pages, along with new products via spreadsheets, PDFs, and their website. Streng previously created other, much smaller, Misumi USA product catalogs. These catalogs had a specific look and feel made for the American market. So, we also had to update this huge catalog with the new design as well. This was done in waves to make sure every style and design was applied. We worked on this part as we waited for the next marked up section and during the editing process. To complicate the process my team members were off site. We relied heavily on screen share, DropBox and Slack. I truly believe having worked with these three in the past, I knew they were the right people for this job. There were times were other projects demanded my attention and I was able to have full confidence that my team would keep the ball rolling.  It was imperative to be organized, quick, and accurate. My team and I are incredibly proud of this BEAST. It was worth all the blood, sweat, and tears. And my monitor is now four inches higher.

Theory of Elastic Thin Shells discusses the mathematical foundations of shell theory and the approximate methods of solution. The present volume was originally published in Russian in 1953, and remains the only text which formulates as completely as possible the different sets of basic equations and various approximate methods of shell analysis emphasizing asymptotic integration. The book is organized into five parts. Part I presents the general formulation and equations of the theory of shells, which are based on the well-known hypothesis of the preservation of the normal element. Part II is devoted to the membrane theory--the most widely used approximate method of analysis of shells that was formulated at approximately the same time as the more general bending theory. In Part III methods of analysis of circular cylindrical shells with the aid of trigonometric series are considered. Part IV is essentially mathematical in character and its purpose is to justify the approximate methods of shell analysis. In Part V approximate methods of analysis of shells are formulated.
