Portfolio and Work History
Based in Boulder, CO, but with a work history that's taken me all over the world, I'm a creative, detail-oriented writer, editor and designer with experience in print, display and online and a proven ability to manage projects from concept to production.
My track record includes work in journalism, nonprofit communications, academic marketing, advertising for the technology sector, and trade publishing, to name a few. My skill set incorporates print production, web design and coding, online/digital synergy, usability, digital signage, social media, iconography and identity systems. (For the full details, download my résumé as a .PDF or see it on vizualize.me.)
I'm presently happily employed in communications for the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, and though I'm currently unable to take on any freelance projects, I'd happily meet up over a cup of coffee or conference call to talk print, digital or social media strategy. Drop me a line.
