About

Herder of cats and projects. Fitter of square pegs.

As a humanities-trained designer, I create digital publications and projects where form is informed by content. From WordPress customizations to hand-drawn animations, I match my collaborator’s projects with functionality that fits the theoretical and contextual arguments implicit and explicit in their text.

I started my career as a humanist among computer scientists and engineers thinking about what “place,” “space” and “history” meant in digital projects. I’ve since worked in positions that translate between disciplines: an instructor of engineering history to engineers, a digital consultant for grant projects, and, currently, a director and digital developer for an innovative publishing lab at Coastal Carolina University.

As a freelance designer for punctum books, I applied my translation skills to create intricate, freely-accessible digital publications that are companions, rather than replacements, for print and ebook editions.

Currently, my freelance work is community-based and purpose-driven. You can see what I’m working on at my day job with the Athenaeum Press at Coastal Carolina University.

About Me

My spouse, child, and animal companions live in Conway, South Carolina, where we hike, eat, and drink the rapidly disappearing and quickly emerging cultural scenes of the South.
