I love working with organizations to amplify their missions. I love designing unique books and gifts. I love making imagery that appeals to the heart, mind, and eye.
work experience info & recommendations
As an independent graphic designer / art director / illustrator based in Madison, Wisconsin, I create print and digital visuals for an array of clients including many non-profits and publishers. My extensive experience collaborating — with editors, communications staff, printing departments, entrepreneurs, illustrators, photographers, art directors, vendors and more — inform my ability to work well with varied teams, assets, and platforms.
I bring a flexible, creative, and professional attitude to developing original visual solutions for each project, whether it's a website, annual report, illustration, or new logo. Recent clients include: More Smiles Wisconsin, Experience Camps, Madison Public Library Foundation, Madison Conservatory, Rebel Girls Books, a360media, Wisconsin Dental Pain Protocol, Hometown Smiles, Gakken Books, Stonesong Press, HarperCollins, Seven Stories Press, and the American Playwriting Foundation.
For over a decade, as the Art Director for Downtown Bookworks (an independent children's book publisher), I created the company's branding, and art directed and designed the full line of 100+ publications. Many of these unique titles became award-winners and reader favorites — to view, please visit downtownbookworks.com.
Projects from earlier in my career are visible on my older website grfix.com. Previous full-time positions include: Art Director for one of the first online magazines (Prodigy's stim), Co-owner of a small design company (pink design, inc.), Art Director for a NYC media company (New Video), and Art Assistant at Mondo 2000 magazine (aka, my first real design job).
