Art Director / Graphic Designer / Photographer / Writer
Verified
I am a widely experienced graphic designer, accomplished
photographer, 11-time USPS stamp artist, writer, editor and educator working in the graphic design and photography industry for more than 25 years.
I work primarily with trade and professional associations, publishing firms and small businesses. My projects include annual reports, brochures, magazines and newsletters, book covers and interiors, posters, direct mail, logo design and convention collateral. I bring to the table more than two decades of publications experience, working on nearly 50 newsletters and magazines. I have managed all aspects of publication production, including overseeing a diverse team of photographers and writers to greatly enhance the member experience.
In 2012–2013, I co-founded Celebrate Home magazine, a test project and seasonal publication where I served as graphic designer, content developer, photographer, writer and editor. Celebrate Home showcases my ability to manage a publication from inception to completion. View the magazine here: https://celebratehomemag.com/
I provide photographic services to my clients for convention and meeting shots, corporate and staff portraits, and assignment photography. My portrait work has been featured on covers/interiors of Hearing Loss and Hearing Life magazine, Municipal Lawyer magazine and National Head Start’s Children & Families.
My work has also been featured in American Photo, Shutterbug and in Nikon’s trade show exhibits. I am an 11-time USPS stamp artist: Ferns (2014), Water Lilies (2015) and one image in the 16-panel stamp series commemorating the National Park Service’s 100th Anniversary (series unveiled in NYC in 2016). My image of an African daisy was the 2022 Global Forever stamp.
I am detail-oriented with strong technical, communication and organizational skills. I have extensive experience (25+ years) with Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.More...
