Highlights:

I have art directed a small team of designers on a medium-scale magazine project and product catalog for the past three and a half years. I enjoy designing book covers, single panel projects as well as multi-page layouts. One of my favorite parts of my job are that I get to mentor junior designers and shape the way they grow professionally. Prior to being an art director, I was a graphic designer (both freelance and in-house) for 3 years. I am equally versed in art direction/supervision as well as graphic design.

My main focus as an art director lies in two areas: magazine design and catalog design. I art direct a monthly magazine and biannually produced catalog for a non-profit organization. I changed the face of this organization's visual communications by redesigning the main components of its advertising. I designed and executed a new identity system, while incorporating that new look/feel into their monthly magazine and product catalog.
