Time Stands Still is a provocative, Tony-nominated work by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies. When asked to create the artwork for the production coming up at SC Repertory Company, I wanted to convey the primary conceit behind events in the play: what motivates a photo journalist in a hot combat zone to keep shooting, despite the poor odds? Check out the lens. |  |

For the past eight years, I have been writing, designing, and editing South Carolina Repertory Company's annual newsletter, which I named Cat's Meow. This is the inside of the latest version. |  |
 | I designed all the pages, organized the photo shoots, and wrote all the copy for a website for Schooner Cove (an independent retirement community). The targeted audience was 60-80 year olds, many of whom may not have much computer and internet experience. I worked closely with a webmaster, to ensure a quality, informative, and easy-to-use site.

SC Repertory Company is a professional theatre on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. I designed this artwork for one of the shows in their 2011 season, which included posters, postcards, and advertisements. |  |
 | I was asked to create a brochure for an assisted living community (design, write copy, organize and direct photo shoots). The beautiful location of the facility, along the Damariscotta River in midcoast Maine, lent itself to landscape photos. I chose to concentrate more on the people involved, with fewer location shots (including the cover illustration, which I created from one of my photos). |
The community's Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk raises more than $100,000 for breast cancer research every year. For the walk's tenth anniversary, I was asked to write 10 articles, one per week, during the 10 weeks preceding the walk. Each article profiled someone affected by the disease. I was given the raw material (tapes of the interviews and information about each person) and crafted the 10 articles from that. It proved to be one of the most popular series the two local papers had published, and the statewide American Cancer Society requested copies of all 10. |  |
 | The local hospital wanted a way to get the simple idea of washing hands as the best way to prevent the spread of disease to as many people as possible. I saved this photo, an outtake from a photo shoot, and knew it would be the perfect eye-catcher for this poster. Posted throughout the entire hospital system, the poster was used for more than 5 years. |
