I am a graphic designer, magazine art director, creative director, and editor with an English degree and a love of all things visual. My favorite puzzle is figuring out the best way to communicate ideas and concepts.

StudyintheUSAGlobal.com
Study in the USA created its first client-facing site in 2019. I designed it and have grown it each year — by adding client testimonial videos, case studies, a blog, a news section, and creating a home for the Study in the USA podcast. (Click the image to be taken to the full site.) |

Magazines
For much of my career I've been a magazine art director. The two magazines I was with for the longest are Study in the USA (9 annual editions in 5 languages) and VegNews. Other titles I worked on over the years include Good Housekeeping, Seattle magazine, and Yoga Journal. (The short videos provide a small sample of my work for each publication.) |

Podcast branding
Study in the USA launched the International Student Stories podcast to share stories of current and former international students and higher education professionals. I created the podcast's look and branding. |

Camp GLP
Jonathan Fields (Good Life Project) created a summer camp experience for entrepreneurs and creative folks that took place every summer for 5 years. I created the camp's branding in addition to notebooks, folders, camp badges, and campers' tote bags and t-shirts, and more. (The short video shows a small sample of my work for these events.) |

Newsletters
I create graphics and write text for the newsletters that go to both of Study in the USA's audiences — 70,000 international students & 50,000 clients at colleges, community colleges, and universities. |

Over the years, I have made innumerable social media graphics. These are a recent sample that were made for Study in the USA. (As many as possible are linked so you can see them in action.)
I am originally from Virginia and have lived in San Francisco since I drove out to California sight unseen after graduating from college. My favorite mornings start with a walk through Golden Gate Park or the Presidio with my dog. I'm a photographer and painter, an avid reader, and an HGTV addict.
