Art directed a shifting portfolio of print and digital marketing projects for healthcare organizations (provider and payer groups), professional associations and educational publishers.

Greater Chicago Area

I art directed a bi-monthly, 98-page (about 15/85 ad/edit) newsstand magazine called Complete Woman. In 2005, I completely redesigned the book, imposing a consistent design aesthetic throughout the 75+ page feature well, and introducing more order and white space into the magazine. Simultaneously, I designed 40-50 pages per issue of one of Complete Woman's sister publications, Sophisticate's Black Hair. I produced and directed photoshoots for both magazines, maintaining a reliable network of photographers, stylists, and makeup artists.

Greater Boston Area

The Improper Bostonian is a 4/c bi-weekly lifestyle magazine. During my tenure, the book ranged from 80-120 pages per issue (60/40 edit/ad) and included its first perfect-bound and direct-to-plate issues. I designed and directed every page of it. It was a true collaboration with a very talented group of writers, photographers and editors, and together, we helped push the publication into profitability for the first time in its history.
