Design Systems for a Fractured Landscape
↘
I partner with brands, publishers, and agencies as a fractional Creative Director and design strategist. Editorial redesigns, brand identity systems, and the kind of visual thinking that holds together across a dozen platforms.
Twenty-plus years directing visual identity for Bon Appétit, GQ, Consumer Reports, and Sotheby's taught me one thing above all: a strong voice is easy to lose and impossible to fake. I bring the systems and the judgment to keep it intact wherever your audience finds you.
WHAT I DO
Fractional Creative Director — Embedded senior creative leadership on a part-time or project basis. I partner with brands and publications that need strategic direction without a full-time hire: setting visual strategy for a redesign, guiding a campaign, building creative systems that scale.
Editorial Redesign & Visual Voice — My core expertise: shaping how a publication looks, sounds, and feels across every surface, from the flagship redesign down to the smallest fragment. Twenty-plus years defining and defending visual identity for major mastheads.
Editorial Illustration — Custom collage illustration for publications, Substacks, and media brands. Each piece developed from concept through final art direction. Not stock, not generic. A visual identity your readers will recognize.
Also available — Brand identity systems and full-project creative direction, case by case.
