Hi, thanks for stopping by
I am a passionate creator who is tirelessly looking for the best way to communicate ideas visually. I’ve worked in and lead groups of like-minded people in the daily struggle with the dreaded deadline, and I haven’t lost yet.
In over 25 years I’ve brought my voice to many publications, speaking up when needed and not afraid to listen. I love the challenge of getting to heart of an issue, looking at it from all sides, and then communicating it as simply and elegantly as possible.
My working practice is to collaboratively find a narrative, the story in the information that people need to share, and communicate it with design and images.
