ABOUT

I make things look good. I design for people and ensure it's easy to understand and navigate. I’ve worked for clients and studios in editorial design and custom content publishing firms in various subjects for over 20+ years. From homes to hotels, luxury lifestyle, non-profits, think tanks, and realtors--I've designed 30+ Ozzie award-winning magazines. I also design for social media platforms, email, web, collateral, print, logos, branding, digital papers, and magazines for apps. I’ve done it all as a hands-on leader and mentor.

​

I’ve worked with the best at Active Interest Media’s Home Buyer Group, The Magazine Group(aka Manifest), National Geographic Traveler, The World Bank, pretrial.org, The Nature Conservancy, Washingtonian, Bethesda Magazine, Washington Business Journal, The National Trust for Historic Preservation, Leading Hotels of the World (magazine distributed in over 80 countries), and more.

 

I’ve worked with amazing nationally known photographers, illustrators, and artists. I’ve won awards, designed more than a few start-ups, and redesigns from the ground up. I art-directed celebrity photoshoots of Peter Jennings, Frank Gifford, and Paloma Picasso. I was a guest speaker at the ICON3 conference and started my career sending type specs on a Greyhound bus at midnight to meet a deadline. I scooped ice cream at Farrell’s ice cream parlor; I was Nancy Reagan’s calligrapher for her inaugural guest list.

 

I love spending time with my family and friends in the US and Europe. As a first-generation American, I was born to travel and dream about how I will decorate my next home. I love to cook, listen to music, talk politics, and experience art in my downtime. I am a collector of mid-century modern furniture, Inuit carvings, folk art, and Charlie Harper prints.

 

I love creating beautiful things. Let's talk!
