Graphic Design

As a design partner for authors, editors, and publishers who seek clarity and collaboration, I’m passionate about crafting books that inspire wonder and help ideas take flight.

As a freelance designer, I’m naturally a problem solver; I’m tuned to always be on the lookout for ways to make the world better—more informative, more convenient, more efficient—from my vantage of creating books and other long-form documents.

The unusual (but not always useful 😉) thing about me is that I actually started in the sciences, earning a Ph.D. in particle physics before deciding academic “publish or perish” wasn’t for me. (How ironic, right?) After grad school, I ran a business focused on measurement instrumentation and software for a number of years (marketing development introduced me to design), moonlighted as a fine-art photographer, then went back to art school with a focus on printmaking and handmade books, before pivoting into book design full-time freelance.
