THE mArk of effective communication is
found in intelligent writing, collective identity, good
design, and a well-practiced (or preternatural)
ability to interest your audience in the conversation.
This book serves as an archive of my practice in
each, as well as a measure of experience as I grow.
Each piece of content, editorial design, graphic,
photography, typography, and experience within
represents individual fields of my capabilities and
interests. I hope you enjoy reading.

When I met Dave Cooper, a former US Marine
Corps Infantry Officer, he was beginning to build
a defense system technologies company from the
ground up. Dave wanted to provide a professional
brand message that appealed to potential clients
while piquing the interest of potential hires, too.
Together we developed Anglicotech’s full company
identity, website, and supporting print materials
that have since attracted both Dave’s workforce
of top-notch engineers and multiple multi-million
dollar government contracts as Anglicotech grows
beyond its startup roots into a true industry leader.
A key website section is Anglicotech’s career
opportunities page, which recently saved the
company more than $20,000 in recruitment fees for
a high-profile position. Additional responsibilities
include writing articles, blog posts, company news
items, and the company newsletter.

W.G. Yates and Sons Construction Company
(Yates) is a family-owned general contractor of
8,000 employees with seventeen divisions located
strategically across the southeast. My work as
Atlanta’s marketing coordinator includes technical
writing, layout and production of all proposals and
presentations; design and production of collateral
material; planning and organization of events;
internal communication initiatives; identification
and tracking of prospective projects and clients;
updating the company website; and supporting
division business development and Vice President
in all marketing activities.
A first project with the company involved a
complete branding update of company collateral,
specification sheet and resume formatting, and
presentation design.

The Georgia Institute of Technology’s nationally
ranked School of Civil and Environmental
Engineering is the third largest civil engineering
school in the United States. I comprised a design
office of one. What began as an internship in
graphic design grew to a assisting a full renovation
of the school’s brand identity and supporting
documents, and pioneering the school’s widely
distributed annual report, budding social media
campaign, and graduate recruitment program.
Key responsibilities included assistance in
developing ideas and concepts for publication,
writing articles and newsletters, producing
graphics and fact sheets, photography, facilitating
in organization of promotional events and special
projects, assisting with website content, and
creating commissioned fine art, as well as attending
communications meetings, campus events and
lectures relating to the communications field and
the School as a whole.

I first met Anna and Steve Tolan at their wildlife
education centre in Mfuwe, Zambia last summer.
Their hospitality was as remarkable and rare as
their passion for creating real change in the world
around them - working to educate children in rural
Zambia about the benefit of wildlife conservation
and power of an education. Between bush walk,
conservation studies with local children, and
evening tea with hippos, Anna and I began planning
a redesign of the existing Chipembele website - with
frequent input from Betty, an orphaned baboon,
and Changa, a rafter-dwelling bush baby.
Once back in the United States, I began building
a new site in Drupal, with frequent Skype meetings
between Anna in Africa and Jude, the Centre’s in-
house Graphic Designer, in Australia. Across three
continents, we built Chipembele’s new site from the
ground up. Jude and Anna are able to update the
site on their own time (zone!) instead of sending
any web updates to a designer in South Africa for
review - allowing greater flexibility and growth.

The physical damage and human casualties
resulting from the January 12, 2010 earthquake in
Haiti i l lustrate the devastating impact of natural
hazards on communities that are not adequately
prepared. The Caribbean is a region with an
unusually high exposure to both earthquakes and
hurricanes, and Georgia Institute of Technology’s
Caribbean Hazard Assessment Mitigation and
Preparedness (CHAMP) project was formed to
minimize the impact of these events.
A multi-disciplinary project bridging several
schools within the Institute, CHAMP required
organization identity, website development and
design, and presentation design. The project
is a continued responsibility as CHAMP research
continues to grow.

Frequently spoken of by experts as one of the
greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, South
Luangwa National Park is Zambia’s number one
wildlife destination. Upon visiting the park, I soon
learned that although the reserve was home to
sixty species of animals and over four hundred
bird species, it offered no photos or web presence
to host its rare and wonderful wildlife.
My job since has been to capture the park’s
incredible fauna through a camera lens and share
these animals through designing, developing,
writing for, and curating a park website. I am
responsible for all content and site maintenance
from Atlanta.

l O G O W e B S i T e Nursery school in
New Canaan, Connecticut is competitive
business. With many area options, a
successful web presence is essential
to meeting enrollment goals, especially
for St. Mark’s Nursery School (SMNS), a
growing pre-school that needed a new
website before school registration started.
Meeting the deadline, SMNS’s site includes
internal interaction - parents can add and
share secure contact information, and
staff can regularly update news, events,
and calendars with photos, videos, and
newsletters through the site’s content
management software, Drupal. SMNS
also received a fresh logo to reflect the
school’s new growth and leadership.

founded a namesake electrical contracting
company in Pacifica, California - well-
reviewed and expanding throughout the
Bay area and beyond. Di Luzio, Inc was
unhappy with a former web developer who
left their site with broken Flash galleries
and unfinished business, and found an
atypical solution in cross-country design.
Together, we’ve created new logos and
a fresh website that reflects the well-
established, friendly vision of the company.

Style delivers creme de la creme of campus
fashion, music, entertainment, and all things
fresh to over two dozen college chapters.
Founded at my alma mater, Georgia Tech,
I served as a contributing writer and
photographer during initial development,
in which The Campus Style evolved into
a blogging network with a large, youthful
audience. The site serves as a meeting
place for a group of like-minded students
to share their favorite finds with their own
campuses and other collegiate chapters.
