Professional/Personal Overview
  I have gained a reputation for creating magazines within impossible deadlines and without much of an art budget.
I'm known for my uncanny knack for making something out of nothing much or at least designing it to look like something.

My designs have been published internationally in books, newspapers and magazines. While working as a staff creative director/art director and designer I've launched and redesigned business, pharma, celebrity, beauty, teen, health, women's consumer magazines, newsstand and trade publications.

My award winning designs are clean and innovative, with a keen ability to visually reach a demographic and pull them into the story. Creating successful covers is my forte, however I work diligently to deliver a superior finished product, cover-to-cover.
