I’ve been a graphic designer since 1983, when I opened my graphic design studio (Number Nine), hired and art-directed two successive NCSU College of Design graduates, and co-founded in 1985—along with David Burney and Nancy Ahrens—the thriving Raleigh Chapter of the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts).
In 1995, Duke University Press offered me a position as their Journals Designer. For the next two decades I designed journal covers, interiors, and marketing materials for both print and online display, helping to redefine DUP’s ever-evolving brand and online presence.
In 2018 I left the Press to resume my freelance work. The world of graphic design has never been more exciting than it is right now, and I welcome every artistic challenge—no matter how small or large—whether it deals with publication design, graphic identity, or the mysteries of marketing.
