Greetings from Kansas City, where I’m a Designer & Photo Editor of custom books for private clients. For many years I freelanced as an Editorial Art Director & Designer in corporate print publishing.

I create commemorative books of all kinds — editions of photo essay style annuals of family life, chronicles of vacation travel, visual histories of ancestral family members, and special gift books. I look at your pictures and pull them together to tell stories by way of meaningful visual narratives.

My design style is clean and communicative, and my working style is collaborative yet independent.

In other professional chapters I designed a precious metal jewelry collection, and dedicated some years to working with community nonprofits.
