PRODUCTION MANAGER + ART DIRECTOR
380 magazines. 8 years. 500–700 pages every month.
I led the design workflow for a high-volume portfolio of publications, overseeing advertising and editorial design from assignment through press. Each title had its own Editor-in-Chief, sales team, and writers, requiring a flexible process that could accommodate hundreds of moving pieces at once.
I developed workflows, delegated projects, directed and reviewed design, managed pagination, and reviewed every page before prepress. The work demanded exceptional attention to detail, organization, collaboration, and the ability to consistently deliver under seemingly impossible deadlines.
And because great design doesn't end when the files are sent, I made frequent press checks to ensure every publication came off the press looking as good as it did on screen.
