Earlier this year I made a big decision: When my time on the magazine staff at a consumer publisher came to an end, I decided to step out on my own. I’m now a freelance publication designer and art director, and I’ve been filling my schedule with part-time and short-term work, as well as occasional one-off publication projects.
It’s been exciting to recognize that while I am now working for myself, I’m not working by myself. I’ve been able to essentially join several teams at once — all full of smart, interesting, creative pros — just on a partial or temporary basis. That means my weeks and months now have some wonderful variety that I’d been missing over the past few years.
I’m always looking out for new projects to fill upcoming gaps in the schedule, so if you have any need for a publication designer (for magazines, books, newsletters, reports, or any multipage document), please get in touch! I’m especially keen to dip a toe back into the indie magazine world again… but am equally well suited to being an extra pair of hands for a design studio during peak times, or to stepping in to help an existing publication team. Let’s talk!
