As a freelance designer and copy editor,

I offer a number of affordable services including design, editing, and comissioned artwork. If you are interested in any of these, please contact me with any questions, and for details or project-specific pricing.

Design

My passion for design has lead me to a number of rewarding projects. I love especially working with artists, writers, and creative small business owners who have a big vision they want to see realized, even if it's in a small way. I would love to talk to you to see if I can assist you in projecting the vision you have in mind for your identity or business.

Sample past projects include

  • Website design & maintenance for artists, writers, small businesses, and personal sites
  • Typsetting, layout design, and cover art for publications
  • Web graphics
  • Flyers
  • Wedding invitations
  • Branding (letterhead, businesscards, etc.)
  • Logos
  • Event posters

A design portfolio is coming soon. In the meantime, please contact me for samples, and peruse this website to get an idea of my general aesthetic.

Editing

Whether it's poems, press releases, or something in between, I am constantly playing with words. The Chicago Manual of Style has often ended up by my bedside, and I have an unhealthy love for proofreader's marks. If you are in need of a copy editor, proofreader, ghost writer, or consultant, contact me. Please inquire for writing samples or past projects.

Experience

With a BFA in printmaking and an MFA in creative writing, my diverse background has equipped me with the skills necessary for varied and unique projects. I have years of direct involvement in multiple presses including Milkweed Editions, Black Ocean, and Mid-American Review. I currently work as the communications director and managing editor for a company that manages nonprofits, handing all client communications, web updates, and publications. My experience is a direct result of full immersion on many types of projects where I have worked with layout, typesetting, design, proofing, editing, and pagination.
