Decade of Expertise in Magazine Design and Publishing
I bring a unique combination of creativity, experience, and passion to magazine design. As the former publisher of the national magazine TRAVELHOST of Greater St. Louis, I designed and published the magazine independently, embodying every role in the magazine creation process. My journey from photojournalist to magazine photographer, designer, and publisher has given me an in-depth understanding of the magazine business—from A to Z.
