I am a producer.  Working from Austin, Texas, I create highly-interactive, informative, and entertaining content for non-profits, museums, publishers, and educational institutions.

Since 1996, including over a decade at National Geographic and more recently in studio settings, I have created high-profile, award-winning projects. These projects have won multiple Webbys, a CODiE award, and have been highlighted in major publications, such as Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, New York Times, and Communication Arts.  Although I've successfully tackled a myriad of topics, I specialize in content related to conservation, mapping, history, archaeology, and anthropology.

To complete these projects, I can work with your team, or I can create a customized team of talented designers, developers, programmers, writers, and researchers—each of whom has years of experience with the best publishers and design studios. In my role as producer I can oversee the entire editorial and technical development, from concept to launch.

I received my undergraduate degrees in Ancient Studies and Visual Arts from the University of Maryland and did graduate studies in Classical and Near Eastern Art and Archaeology at the University of Minnesota.
