About
I am a multidisciplinary creative who has built a successful career that spans photography, graphic design, teaching, and writing. With a strong eye for visual detail and a love for clear, engaging communication, I’ve brought ideas to life for student, client, and consumer audiences alike. I invest my curiosity, heart, and a strong sense of purpose in every project. This is especially true with my recently completed Cooking with George, my first cookbook which I wrote, designed, and photographed.
I studied at Indiana University where I graduated with a BA in journalism and a minor in psychology. Almost every day, some recollection of my studies pops into my mind. In fact, I often see where emotion, motivation, and memory intersect while I’m working on the best way to connect a creative solution with an audience.
Over the years, I have led or collaborated on projects ranging from marketing campaigns to training programs to global publications, especially in the cultural and institutional sectors. Recently, I’ve explored the hospitality industry, where I’ve managed projects and designed content for New York restaurants.
Having lived and worked in the Midwest, California, and New York City, I bring a unique blend of perspectives and insights to my work. Being raised in the Midwest rooted me with life-long values and a fond appreciation for a certain kind of quiet that sometimes influences my work.
Living on the West Coast for 12 years profoundly shaped my general aesthetic and broadened my sense of the world at large. The drama of vistas, sunsets, and horizons looking toward the Pacific and Asia literally opened my eyes and stimulated exciting new points of view both visually and culturally.
After I moved to New York in 1999, the city’s compression challenged me with a different energy that was more focused on efficiency. Broad horizontal expanse slimmed into a tight vertical imperative. The dual influence of West and East defines my style to this day — natural wonder tempered with disciplined execution.
Known for my creative versatility, collaborative spirit, and clear visual thinking, I continue to explore new ways to inspire, teach, and connect through compelling design and narrative expression. I can either work on location or from my office in New York. Let’s make something meaningful and beautiful together!
