Becomes art director of Meridian Books (1955–1961)

Cohen began her career in the office of Alvin Lustig to whom she was married in 1948. After his premature death in 1955 she completed unfinished projects and began her own design business. The bulk of her work are book designs for Meridian Books and New Directions; however, she also became known for architectural signage creating lettering, signs, and symbols for buildings such as the Seagram Building in New York. Though heavily influenced by Modernism, her work has a playfulness and humor that is often characterized by a willingness to experiment with composition and materials. In 1969 after retiring from design, Cohen began painting and making collages.
