My Work

My editorial portfolio covers a wide variety of work from local and regional magazines, trade publications, to national and international publications. This range includes business executives, senators on the Hill, and even the agent who helped catch the JPMorgan Chase hackers. I always work closely with the art director to actualize their vision, bringing out the subject’s personality, and working in my own style.
