Look closely...There is wonder all around us, you just have to pay attention to the details and enjoy the journey! For me, it's not about accepting the way things are, but asking WHY things are the way they are. As a visual storyteller, I convey information design and photography as well as text. I utilize Adobe Creative Cloud to not only convey thoughts but also communicate emotions and moods in a variety of online and print channels. Firmly believing the journey IS the destination, I enjoy exploring where ideas will take me. One example began as a personal project and quickly evolved into books, walking tours and lectures documenting the largely unnoticed decoration on America’s academic buildings. I proudly developed the concepts for these books, wrote their text, shot and edited their photos as well as designed their layouts and promotional material. I have also consulted for an experienced psychiatrist to develop a book documenting his treatment of an autistic child. Alongside his clinical evaluations, I created first-person narratives as told through the eyes of the doctor, the patient and her mother to develop the human side of this disorder and its treatment.Previously, I was a Graphic Designer at the Knights of Columbus. It was there I learned that a variety of skills are better than merely focusing on one and designed online and print collateral as well as served as photographer and photo editor for many events. This developed my love of the communicative power of images and their use in design.
