Print and Web Design
The examples on this page are samples of the work I have done as a graphic designer working either for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology or as a freelance designer.
The State of North American Birds 2016 is a international, multi-agency report. This is the sixth in a series of extensively researched reports written by a over 40 private and public agencies. They highlight the challenges and success stories in the conservation status of North America’s birds, and are an important reference for land managers.

This poster was created for the hand bell choir at St. Pauls UMC Festival Chimes to promote their fundraising flower sale (2013). The poster was designed and printed with a laminated surface so that updated plant lists and prices could be easily reprinted and glued over the white boxes. Photos were either taken by me or stock photos, and the logo was designed by me. Click here or click the image to view a larger image. (< 1 MB).
Second redesign for BirdScope, the newsletter of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (2009-2012). With this redesign, the goal was to use more color while keeping costs down. This redesign used newsprint and a tabloid format to achieve our objectives and also give an urgency and newsworthiness to the publication. I created the new design, and did layout, photo adjustment, and photo extraction/montage for many issues, but then supervised other designers who created subsequent issues using this template.

This is the first redesign for BirdScope, the newsletter of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (2003-2008). This was an 8-1/2 x 11-inch newsletter printed on 60# opaque stock. Click here or click the image to view the complete PDF (2 MB). I created the new design and did layout, photo adjustment, and photo extraction/montage for all issues. I also wrote an article in this issue (see pages 12-13).
The Handbook of Bird Biology (2004) is a 1,200-page college-level textbook that I designed. Although most of the layout for the book, quizzes, CD booklet, CD label, and envelope was by me, I also supervised the layout work of other designers for several chapters. View a sample chapter here (2MB). The book is now out-of-print.
Sew Kreations was an Etsy business that specialized in custom-made country-style sewn items. The image above was used for the banner on Etsy, and the card at left was used as a business card template. The owner of Sew Kreations was fond of Scottie dogs and chose that species to be her mascot.
I designed the Project Puffin web site to harmonize with Audubon's site at that time. Audubon has since redesigned their site and chapters and affiliates must now create sites based on Audubon's templates. This site is now only viewable on the internet archive.
