About
With over 10 years experience in publishing, I have helped to produce and design elements for around 300 individual projects. From graphic design to branding, and from story developmental editing to writing; I've done a little bit of everything. I've even worked with physical display creation through my years in retail. And, as a former business owner, I've done everything from hiring and managing personnel to reviewing company P&Ls.
With the large volume and wide variety of design work I have done over the years, the featured portfolio is a constant work in progress. -
