My focus is illustrated non-fiction — cookbooks, gift books, brand books — where the photography and the design have to pull as much weight as the words. I've designed and art directed 50+ titles for trade publishers and retail brands, working every stage from concept to bound book — typography, photo direction, production, the occasional 6 a.m. press check.

I'm also the co-founder of Book Kitchen, a cookbook packaging studio that ushers projects from concept to delivery for national publishers and retailers — more on that at bookkitchen.com.

I still take on marketing communications work too: brand identity, websites, campaigns, video, reports, for the rare client whose product isn't edible.

If you've got a book or brand that needs someone who reads headnotes for fun, let's talk.
