About
I visualize for a living. My last day job, as art director for DISCOVER, the science and technology magazine, involved a range of duties from straight-forward layout design to conceptual typographic and illustrative editorial solutions. Additionally, I also maintain a concentrated group of freelance clients like Elmore Magazine, mostly in the cultural and creative fields.
As a design director, I believe in drawing upon the strengths of an entire editorial team to tell stories as concisely and brilliantly as possible. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but functional, beautiful solutions often transcend issues of taste. My personal experience has taught me that the best of these solutions always come from the collaboration of many voices speaking as one, harmonious story-telling device. The best of the magazines on the newsstand today prove this issue-in and issue-out. If you are interested in collaborating on a fantastic project together, please get in touch.
Currently located in New York City, I have also worked in Nashville, Tennessee and Berlin, Germany. My BFA in Communications Design was awarded at Pratt Institute in 2006 with a minor in Art History.
