Experienced freelance graphic designer specializing in information design and book design projects. My specialties include projects such as reports, workbooks, training manuals, forms, white papers, infographics, publications, e-books, presentations, and more. I also help authors get their books out into the world by setting up properly formatted book design files for various self-publishing platforms. My interest in this type of work began in graduate school at Carnegie Mellon University, where I earned a master's degree in Communication Planning and Information Design. (Yes, I am one of those rare people who does exactly the type of work they have a degree in!) I started my career at an architecture firm, where I worked on both marketing and environmental design projects. From there, I moved on to a small marketing agency, where I gained experience working with clients in a variety of industries and carrying projects from initial discussions through final production. With the knowledge I gained through these roles, I started my freelance business in 2013 in order to focus more closely on the type of work that I truly enjoy doing - the kind that helps people communicate more effectively and share their expertise and their stories with the world. I work directly with clients on a project/contract basis. I am also open to part-time remote work, but I am not looking for a full-time or on-site role at this time.
