I LOVE PUB DESIGN

Yes, I have a Master's Degree in Publication Design from the University of Baltimore, but my love of pub design started at the age of 16. I give credit for my career choice to my 11th grade teacher who made me Layout Editor of my high school yearbook. It was fun. It was cool. It came naturally. I am one of the lucky ones to have had a clear vision of my future from such a young age. And, some 20+ years later, my love has never wavered. From Editor-in-Chief (senior year) to Art Director to Principal/Owner of my own design firm. Thanks Ms. Belinko for believing in me and changing my world.

So, while I'm reminiscing, here are some random spreads from the archives. Just for fun.


Let's start with my baby, Harford magazine. In 1999, I had the privilege to work with a team (Art Director, me, Editor, Ted Hendricks, Advertising Manager, Marianne Pfeiffer & Photo Editor Matt Button ) to create a new publication for Harford County. For ten years I had a blast. From brainstorming content to designing every page to art directing the photoshoots and working with Editor Gina Kazimir, it was one of the highlights of my career to date. I wish everyone such a joyful and fulfilling work experience.
