I was born in Fairbanks, Alaska, and now live
in Chicago. I have an MFA in visual communications
from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago,
and a BA with honors in comparative literature from
Princeton University.

I have been working as a graphic designer
for eight years, in the fields of book/publication
design, branding + identity, exhibition +
environmental graphics, and print collateral.

I have worked for Studio Blue and taught at
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
I am currently a senior designer at the University
of Chicago Press.

My solo and collaborative design work has been
recognized by the AIGA 50 Books/50 Covers show,
the Type Directors Club, STEP magazine, the
Association of American University Presses, Print
magazine's regional annual, the Mohawk Show,
the University and College Designer's Association,
and the Chicago Book Clinic.

I also write and design artist's books, which have
been selected for juried shows at Columbia
College Chicago's Center for Book & Paper Arts,
Noyes Cultural Arts Center, and The School
of the Art Institute of Chicago.
