Experience

VP, Creative StrategySkokie, ILOct 2005 - Jun 2024 (18 years 8 months)In 18 years with GLC/Unlock Health, I went from Art Director, in charge of a dozen cross-platform publications at a time, to Vice President of Creative Strategy, managing an art department of nine full-time A/Ds, plus one audio/video editor and production staff. Our clients knew me as their first -- and sometimes only -- point of contact in design. As a company, GLC/Unlcok Health manages 50+ projects at any single time, from print marketing and collateral to publications — both print and digital — and websites.

Art DirectorAssociated Publications, Inc.2003 - 2005 (2 years)I art directed a bi-monthly, 98-page (about 15/85 ad/edit) newsstand magazine called Complete Woman. In 2005, I completely redesigned the book, imposing a consistent design aesthetic throughout the 75+ page feature well, and introducing more order and white space into the magazine.
Simultaneously, I designed 40-50 pages per issue of one of Complete Woman's sister publications, Sophisticate's Black Hair. I produced and directed photoshoots for both magazines, maintaining a reliable network of photographers, stylists, and makeup artists. -
Art DirectorThe Improper Bostonian2000 - 2002 (2 years)The Improper Bostonian is a 4/c bi-weekly lifestyle magazine. During my tenure, the book ranged from 80-120 pages per issue (60/40 edit/ad) and included its first perfect-bound and direct-to-plate issues. I designed and directed every page of it. It was a true collaboration with a very talented group of writers, photographers and editors, and together, we helped push the publication into profitability for the first time in its history.
