Excellence in Design & Process
I put the pieces together for you into a conceptually cohesive whole for a beautifully designed result. Working as the liaison for the publisher, illustrator, photographer, and others associated with the project, I provide the design and art direction while managing the creative process, the creative providers, and the art schedule. Whether your assignment is multifaceted with a longer lead-time or straightforward with a quick turn around, it is my priority and will be accomplished with excellence in both design and process.
