Selected Works

I seek out people and projects that inspire me and whose stories I want to share with the world at large. I see my role as connecting them and/or their projects, all the while taking a flexible, creative approach in my capacity as a planner and editor, going beyond the traditional definition of media when a project calls for it.

The projects I’ve worked on have involved publishing, planning, editing, writing, producing, branding, casting, facilitating, urban and regional vitalization, product development, and more.

I strive to be actively involved with projects from the planning phase, including putting together the right team for the job. Full-on commitment allows me to focus my creative energy on exploring new media possibilities.

(Magazines, books, photo books, websites, Instagram, video, etc.)

My focus is on projects involving inspired people, and my goal is to tell stories that touch as many people as possible—without limiting myself to established categories.

(People, travel, food, hotel and resorts, fashion, jewelry, movies, literature, Music, nature, urban areas, rural areas, architecture, SDGs, design, commercial facilities, everything brand related, etc.)

Whenever I feel like I am in a rut, I find inspiration in the professionals that do what they do with joy, looking to serve society and the world at large. Here is a list of some of the people I’ve worked with.

Magazines are always one step ahead of the curve. For me they are also where I started my career. Even now in the digital age, I am always looking for projects that are best served with a magazine element—and I put the utmost consideration into which outlet is the best fit.

Society today is increasingly paperless and focused on sustainability. With print numbers declining, printed works have become a rarity. That’s why it’s my desire to produce the kind of books that will allow readers to keep inspiration and design at their fingertips.
