While editor of the Tribune-Times, I received multiple awards from the South Carolina Press Association for page design and graphics. At The Greenville News, I designed editorial pages for Upstate Parent magazine, chamber guides and special sections. I have also designed ads and collateral for businesses, led redesigns of newspapers and magazines, and taught classes in the use of Adobe InDesign.
