Theresa McNeilly is the founder of Do The Work Books, a publishing studio that specializes in interactive planners, journals, trackers, activity books and more, using engaging visual prompts to encourage the participant to do the work. Theresa was trained in Industrial Design at the top of her class and was labelled as “the person in charge of the book” that documented the developmental process in every team project. In the corporate world, Theresa worked as an industrial designer and product design manager in household consumer goods for more than ten years. Yet every time, Theresa would put together a “book” that documented the entire product development process. In 2015, Theresa designed a workbook for her friend and since then she began a new journey working with independent authors — developing and designing unique workbooks in a range of areas that include wellness, transformation, and self-mastery. After years of helping other authors publish their workbooks, Theresa published her first workbook in 2023 called My Book of Books: a guided journal for the books you read. Theresa's workbook was inspired by a worksheet she designed (just for fun) for an online community she was part of. Theresa lives in a small town in the Muskoka region of northern Ontario with her husband, daughter, and son. Together, they enjoy family reading time every evening before bed.
