As soon as I stepped into my introductory design class in college, I knew I wanted to be a graphic designer. I see the potential for design in everything, and love pushing good design into areas where it is not present. Well experienced in print and editorial magazine design, I have grown my skillset to include branding/identity, vendor management, pre-press production, photography, and videography and editing. My goal is to find a role as a designer in which I can work collaboratively on projects that have real-world implications and push me professionally and personally.

I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY in May of 2007. My current employer is the National Association of Manufacturers, the largest manufacturing association in the United States.

Outside of design, most of my time is spent with my cars and motorcycle. Race, repair, and repeat. I am also an avid Judo player and a big fan of the combat sports. Dachshunds are my favorite animal, especially my long-haired miniature, Britten.

One of my biggest responsibilities at the National Association of Manufacturers is the design of our monthly magazine, Member Focus. Originally an outsourced publication, it was brought in-house when I was hired so that I could ensure a consistency of design and brand alignment. Under my design, the readership has grown by more than 3.5x compared to the previous year.

Whenever an entrepreneur joins the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, they are welcomed with a mailed kit containing information on EO membership benefits, events, and sponsors. This project was a wholesale redesign of an existing kit, seeking to improve aestethics, durability, cost and usefulness.

The Global Student Entrepreneur Awards was purchased and integrated into the Entrepreneurs’ Organization in 2005. Being a formerly outside product, the GSEA lacked a coherent visual identity. To remedy this, I wrote and designed an Identity Guide for the GSEA program that filled in the gaps for the visual look and feel and provided guidance for all of EO’s chapters who were supporting GSEA on their own.

GSEA hosts a year-end competition of all their winners from regional competitions, and from the video footage from that event I scripted and then produced this promotional video.

On the ground at Entrepreneurs’ Organization events, my primary role was as event photographer. This allowed my passion for photography to be exercised in a professional setting using a variety of professional and “pro-sumer” equipment.

All American automotive magazines have one thing in common: they're ugly! I picked one of my favorites, Grassroots Motorsports, which also happens to be one of the ugliest; and redesigned the magazine to be much more visually appealing.
