Design Work

Past clients have included Dutchess Land Conservancy, Dutchess Day School, Bodsana Yoga, Hollow Brook Associates, Coker Farm, Hidden Brook Farm, Yellow Church Antiques, along with numerous collaborations with art directors Douglas + Voss and designers at deMO. While teaching, I have continued to compose layouts, sketch ideas, tell stories with pictures, make books and chronicle the world I inhabit. I obsessively make images, work them into narratives, and use them to make sense of both the personal and political. While living in New York, I made weekly trips to a women’s shelter, made portraits, and transcribed victims’ stories. These regular meetings culminated in a book that was subsequently used to raise awareness and funds. My relationship to the women at Grace Smith House continues today, as do many other connections formed during my working life. Graphic design has this power—to strengthen ideas and connections while making things happen. I love that.
