David Herman Email & Phone Number

The communication of ideas has always been the main goal of my professional career. That means more than just a good design concept. Or a well-written article. Or photos that look great. To succeed, all three have to work together.As a designer, editor, and photographer, I’ve been able to cut across these disciplines and get the most out of any given project. For example, working on newsletters for two different nonprofits, I have:* redesigned those publications and directed/designed full issues, creating highly effective layouts that communicate well with readers;* written numerous articles and edited the work of others to bring out their messages; and* taken lively photos to generate interest and emphasize meaning. Using this crossover of skills, I can make ideas stand out and information accessible to readers. This approach has served me well with my expanding work in social media, where a short sentence or a single image can have a huge impact. Supported by my design/edit/photo skills, I have:* coordinated social media for nonprofits via Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms to inform the public of news and new opportunities;* served as webmaster to help nonprofits engage with a larger active audience; and* created e-mail newsletters to reach people who might not be fully engaged with the organizations.Of course, I am just as comfortable working on a single task, such as design projects or a photo assignment. And with my experience as an editorial and production manager, I am keenly aware of the need to meet deadlines, work well within an organization, and keep costs as low as possible.
