About halfway through college, I realized I needed to compliment my growing television experience with knowledge of the print industry in order to become a well rounded media professional. I began a minimum wage job at my hometown newspaper during summer break as a maintenance kid, eventually working my way up to publishing special edition projects a few years later. Since then, I have been working in print in some way, shape or form. This initial entry into print design helped me prepare for the web design era that would soon explode.

I enjoy print as much as television or interactive media. At the University of Minnesota, Morris, we do not have a print designer on staff, so our department has continually been the 'go-to' place for high quality design work.

I take full advantage of Adobe's Creative Suite – Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign – in the majority of my projects. Full scanning, digital imaging, and direct output to press are used in all of the print projects I develop at UMM. I design and output projects using both four-color printing (offset and digital direct-to-press) and inexpensive black and white.

Our clients include a mixture of non-profit and external for-profit organizations such as Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and the Minnesota Extension Service, along with companies and corporations. Typical projects range from book covers and large format signs to brochures and newsletters.

Many of the projects I produce take advantage of multiple mediums – sometimes I develop educational materials for the classroom that utilize both interactive and print elements, while others use a mix of television, interactive or streaming media.
