Professional Experience

With many years of experience in all manner of print from concept to design through production, I have partnered with clients to produce projects we both are proud of, fulfilling the goal of communication through striking design. I have worked editorially on books and magazines, as well as on marketing, promotion and event collateral. My background includes work on the graphic side of museum exhibition design. After working in the marketing/promotion department of Metropolitan Home and Elle Decor magazines (Hachette Filipacchi Media), I have now returned to working for myself. For the marketing department of Crain's New York Business, I have created special sections, ads, and invitations.
