Overview
I am a book and publications designer. I specialize in cover design but I also have comprehensive experience in black and white and color interior/text design as well as magazine page layout and full color books such as cookbooks and fine art catalogs. I have worked with the University of South Carolina Press on numerous exciting projects including a series of fiction edited by the late great Pat Conroy (Story River Books). I designed the cover of an anthology of self-titled “Grit Lit” edited by Brian Carpenter and Tom Franklin and a cover for the expanded edition of one of George Singleton’s early novels, “Why Dogs Chase Cars.” I enjoy crafting clever cover designs combining photography, typography and sometimes illustration. I would self-describe my style as sophisticated with a splash of humor or whimsy. I enjoy bringing the essence of a book to life visually.
