I have over two decades of graphic design experience across print and digital. My specialty is bringing humanity and personality to a project with voice, elegance, and intelligence. I like creating order out of confusion, clarity where there was none, and communication where once there was merely information. I believe in taking the long view while attending to the details. In any project, I strive to cut to the heart of the matter and uncover first principles.
I’m a generalist designer with a organizational leaning, with experience that ranges from books and brands to content strategy and websites. I work toward the most harmonious combination of aesthetic and voice, always pursuing the best union of form and content. My background extends from the literary to the visual, from my first job editing college textbooks to my wide-ranging career as a graphic/ux designer. The thread that runs through everything is a search for meaningful expression, whether the task at hand is a book jacket, a digital experience, or a hardware store for superheroes that’s also a writing center for kids.
For the great majority of my working life I’ve worked independently and entrepreneurially, always striving to maintain great relationships with clients and collaborators. This has habituated me to adapting quickly to the needs of any given problem without ego or prejudice. These are qualities I bring to every working engagement.
I’m particularly interested in designing experiences around the public’s connection to culture and creativity. I’m now seeking the stability of a permanent position and the rewards of contributing to an organization’s long-term success.
