She also worked on the successful Pokemon card game for Wizards of the Coast, and helped trained a new design and production team for its first European branch office in Belgium.

Cabardo then joined DC Comics as the art director for its Vertigo imprint as well as DC's Creative Services department. She also designed Marvel's Elektra and Wolverine: The Redeemer with Greg Rucka and Yoshitaka Amano.

Her next book, Hoboken: Details of the Mile Square, won the Merit of Excellence award from the Printers of America in 2005. She also managed every aspect of the development of Bungie's Halo Graphic Novel, from editorial to design to production. Halo went on to become one of 2006's best-selling graphic novels.

Specialties: I love doing things I've never done before. It helps me grow as a person and the added new skills always come in handy for the future things to do. Thinking out of the box is a specialty I've honed as a result of embracing the challenges of the unknown and would love to work with other people who function the same way.
