Magazines
Creative direction and design for award-winning editorial publications — overseeing illustration, photography, headline writing, and digital media, including motion graphics, podcasts, and video.
Corporate Knights
Role: Creative Director — Overseeing the creation of a quarterly print magazine, I commission over a dozen illustrators and photographers each issue, create cover concepts and headlines, and design all layouts, occasionally creating illustrations as well.
About: Throughout my career, I’ve worked for several major magazines, but my longest and most impactful contribution has been as Creative Director for print issues of Corporate Knights, an environmental and business magazine, published quarterly. Since 2011, I’ve worked closely with editors, illustrators, and photographers, producing artwork and headlines on topics like climate change, politics, and finance. It’s added to my expertise in environmental topics. My mission is to rebrand “environmental” issues for a wider audience.
Awards: Magazine of the Year Canada, 2013.
