Overview
I’m a Michigan-based graphic designer with a focus on publishing and non-profit design. I am currently an in-house designer at the Ann Arbor District Library and a freelance book designer. When I’m not designing a book, I’m probably reading (or buying) several, walking, taking photographs, making collages, or watching YouTube videos about food with my partner and dog. Although these days, I’m probably changing a diaper or napping on the couch.I have designed books and their covers for Fifth Avenue Press, Scribe Media, and various University Presses throughout the years. I specialize in thoughtful, conceptual, and deceptively simple covers with strong typography.
