Los Angeles, CA

After interning for Bergman Associates, focusing on fashion and beauty, I advanced to senior designer at The Oliphant Press where I was for 10 years working directly with its founder and director Ron Gordon, whom I continue to work with on a freelance basis. My work at The Oliphant Press, and much of my freelance work sense, has focused on providing creative services (graphic design, art direction, writing/editing) to foundations, museums and other non-profits as well as corporate institutions.

Book Design

  • I had the pleasure of designing Alan Joseph Marx’s his first book of photography, ‘Palindrome 91–19’ (FUMO02, soft cover, 160 pages, edition of 200). The artist approached me early in the pandemic wanting to make a book that would represent his photography from its beginnings to near-present day (1991–2019). The process started with him giving me huge range of choice from much of his archive, from there we made various subtractions and additions, and I came up with a flow based on chronology, aesthetics, and feeling. I suggested texts for him to write that would enhance the book, including a note on process (Marx is loyal to analog photography; all photos were taken between 1991 and 2019) and an introduction (which turned out soulful and elegant) that would frame the work, and helped him with text edits and suggestions. ‘Palindrome’ is published under my new imprint, Fumo. This is the second publication in the series. The first was Richard Stuart Perkins’ book of poetry, ‘Everyone is There When We Look.’ (pic

  • Such an honor to be asked to redesign the longstanding, nonprofit literary art journal ‘A Gathering of the Tribes,’ and for my first issue to be The Black Lives Matter issue, with guest editor Ishmael Reed, guest art editor Danny Simmons, and guest assistant editor Margaret Porter Troupe.A Gathering of the Tribes is a multi-cultural interdisciplinary arts organization founded by Dr. Steve Cannon (1935-2019) at his home at 285 East third street in New York City's East Village. The Organization has published a literary magazine, originally supporting marginalized artists from the Lower East Side, since 1991. Writer Chavisa Woods, who was mentored by Cannon, is Tribe’s new Executive Director and Editor-in-Chief.A selection of artifacts from and videos of ‘A Gathering of the Tribes’ were included in the 2022 Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art.I love working with organizations and individuals who are doing good work in the world.pictured here: front cover

Writing

  • I wrote an essay album review of Harold Budd’s The Pavilion of Dreams (1978) for Arcane Delights. The blog, helmed by Glen Johnson (Piano Magic, Second Language Music), was created with “the intention of shedding light on the music in the margins – those lost or simply obscure records which, through no fault of their own, have somehow faded into the background.” Excerpt: “The Pavilion of Dreams is a record to be listened to alone. It’s a personal journey. The word ‘meditation’ comes to mind, but I don’t know that it’s the right word – to meditate you need to be able to empty your mind, and in spite of Budd’s insistence of the contrary, there seems to be more content here than ‘mindless’ prettiness, even if it is existential.” Full essay can be read at https://arcane-delights.com.

  • I wrote the essay “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” for the first issue of my friend Mark C. Lindsey's literary journal Faces. He asked me to write something about music, so I wrote a piece about an early, formative band for me (Eurythmics) and one that came later in life but resonated just as strongly (the band Piano Magic)

  • I was asked to come up with a “literary mixtape” for the Lambda Literary Review inspired by my favorite novel, Gore Vidal’s Myra Breckinridge.

  • For years I have been typesetting the National Book Foundation’s National Book Awards Certificates. Every year there are five books nominated in each category: Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Young People’s Literature, and Translated Literature. I began this annual job while salary employed at The Oliphant Press and now do them freelance. Ron Gordon, director of The Oliphant Press, came up with the original design, and each year oversees the printing and personally frames each one.pictured here: framed certificate for Carolyn Forche’s book ‘What You Have Heard is True: A Memoir of Witness and Resistance.’

I deconstructed their coat of arms, using a few of its lions enlarged on the first few panels reproduced in metallic gold embossing. We also embossed the lions and other elements in the full image of the shield on the center panel of the invite. It was a tricky process but turned out beautifully. The “800 Years” angle was so staggering I proposed a cover that just said “800,” with one of the crest lions below it. Front of invite pictured here.
