About
With decades of experience in publication design, I’ve developed a sharp eye for detail, a flair for original concepts, and a strong sense of how to visually communicate tone and story—all skills I know are crucial when designing for a variety of audiences. My career has been built on collaboration: working seamlessly with editorial, production, and marketing teams, and art-directing talented freelance illustrators and photographers to ensure each project feels fresh, compelling, and cohesive.
