Atlas Obscura finds all kinds of ways to inspire wonder in the world we all share–and their newest project is a fantastic book that shares the silly, strange, and awesome things that plants, animals and fungi do to get by. It’s full of facts and photos that will make you shake your head and go “wow, I didn’t know that”. But now you do.
I designed marketing graphics for use across social and newsletters to help juice up the pre-sales figures, which are all-important in the book publishing game.

Art Direction
Illustration is my specialty. I love working with clients to develop detailed conceptual creative briefs, and then working with artists to realize these ideas as stunning visuals. Take a look at some of my favorite illustrations from over the years here.

Editorial Photo Illustration
Cheesy as it is to admit, Photoshop is my sandbox to play with ideas, images, and typography. I like to push the boundaries of the old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words” with my compositions. Here are a few of the more memorable ones.
