Bio
I have a real passion for print media from ideation, photo art direction, producing to the final design execution. I particularly enjoy working with a team of people to create beautiful images that meet editorial or marketing objectives. Positions I have held include both Art and Photo direction in custom publishing, regional fashion/lifestyle magazines and national shelter magazines. My most recent positions were with mega publisher Meredith Corporation. As Associate Art Director at Better Homes and Gardens magazine I art directed photo shoots and designed layouts for the food, home and fashion sections and then as Photo Design Editor at Country Home, where I conceptualized photo shoots with editors, created and styled sets, sourced talent and went on location and studio shoots. The creative process is something I have always enjoyed putting my energy into while always gaining some new insight or solution in return.
