Overview
Notable projects include books by Stephen Dixon, Barry Gifford, Norman Lock, Samantha Irby, Danez Smith, Stephen Graham Jones, and Megan Stielstra.
I've been fortunate to create work in a wide variety of genres, subjects, and styles, and aspire with each project to integrate bold ideas with concise concepts and intuitive visual appeal. I approach everything I take on with the understanding that each book is unique, with its own objectives and complexities, and aim to arrive at a design that is wholly relevant, evocative, and satisfies the needs of both author and publisher.
