Book & Magazine Publishing 

I have created several freelance cover designs and layouts for independent authors.  As a bibliophile, I find this work to be both professionally rewarding and creatively stimulating. 

I have frequently worked as a colorist, where I enhance line artwork with color and texture. This process significantly influences the mood and meaning of the piece. 

As a Graphic Designer for nationwide newspapers, I often created special sections.  In the following two PDFs, I laid out each publication in InDesign, added additional art, adjusted elements, and used Ad Grabber to pull in the ads, which were designed by various staff, including myself.
