Publication Design

The Publications section features editorial work from my time at Gannett Co., Inc., where I advanced from Designer to Design Team Leader over five years.

I led the design of Premium Editions, subscriber-exclusive publications created to elevate the reader experience and drive revenue. These high-visibility sections called for a more refined, magazine-quality approach within a newspaper environment, contributing to stronger reader engagement and perceived value.

Across titles like Who’s Who in Business and What Women Want, I developed polished, highly readable layouts that balanced editorial voice with consistent visual systems. For regional features, I adapted creative direction to align with both audience and content. New Jersey Eats used a bold, color-forward design language to enhance photography and increase visual impact, while Hiking Oregon transformed repurposed content into a more immersive experience through custom locator maps and original art direction.

I concluded my time at Gannett as Design Team Leader for The Arizona Republic, leading multi-market execution, mentoring designers, and building scalable systems that improved efficiency while maintaining a high standard of editorial design.
