Flippin’ Through My Magazine Design Work

Light blue starburst shape with multiple pointed edges on a black background.

With my design chops, I can jump in wherever you need me. Want start-to-finish support? I’m game to design the whole thing. Need a fresh look? I can help with a full redesign or a quick polish. And if your team’s stretched thin, I’m happy to knock out a few layouts to help get y’all to press day.

Designing a magazine isn’t always as linear as designing a book cover so I’ll always bring structure to the swirl. I’ll keep your files tidy, your inbox clear, and the communication open. You’ll always know where we’re at in the process, so there are no surprises come game day.

  • My editorial wheelhouse runs a wide gamut where I can seamlessly come on board under the direction of an AD to workhorse out some interior spreads.

    I can also help craft and guide the entire creative direction of a magazine from the first brainstorming session to sending that editorial baby off to the printer.

    If you’re under the gun of press deadlines and need someone extra to pitch in or are just unsure how to bring your stories into a visual landscape, I’m the full-rounded pro you need.

  • Depending on the role you need me to step into, the process will look a little different.

    If you’re looking for full art direction, I’ll walk you through my standard design process, which includes research, discovery, and feedback loops to make sure everything is spot-on.

    If you need me to jump into an existing magazine or project, I’ll be your work-for-hire pro. With years of experience collaborating with creative teams, I’ll seamlessly integrate into your systems and get things moving.

  • Before we dive into our creative collaboration, we’ll have a detailed discussion to nail down all the deliverables you’ll need.

    But beyond the physical deliverables, each project will include design strategy, research, ideation, concepting, and full proofs—so we can create the snappiest magazine this side of the Mississippi.
