Book Jacket (Scholastic)

I've been a commercial publishing art director for the past 20 years, running my own studio for the last 10 years while also serving as art director for packager Cader Books.

Prior to that I was art director for Workman Publishing and Algonquin Books, and before that served as advertising art director for Henri Bendel and worked as a designer at Self Magazine.

I do both jacket and interior design; my work veers to the commercial but can do high concept when called for. I specialize in quick turn-around jobs. In particular, I've done lots of commercial fiction, reference books of all types, cookbooks, and children's merchandise books.

I also design promotional materials (posters, catalogs, point-of-sale), calendars and have designed magazine prototypes for AMC Networks.
