Charleston Magazine May: The Arts Issue

The Arts Issue. Charleston Magazine May. Great fun to design this piece on Don Zanfagna, a relatively unknown artist living right here in Charleston. Tim Hussey really captured him in the portrait for the opener. One of his pieces made a perfect "arts issue" cover.

Recent Work: Baby shower invitation, save the date, and cake!

Designed this Baby Shower BBQ for my husband's brother and his girlfriend. I saw some monkeys on some things that they registered for. And besides, the family joke about having Monk as a last name now perpetuates.


Lime green envelopes and raffia to tie the two cards together.

Save the date that I sent via email to folks who lived far away.

Couldn't resist a cake to match. Felt bad about art directing the bakers at Publix.... I gave them a sketch of the cake along with a design for the top and colors to match.

July Charleston: On the Water!

July. Our "On the Water" issue. Photographer Ben Williams got into the assignment by catching waves with our subjects. This image of a local kite boarder landed him the cover. It's not Waimea but it still has great energy.

This feature on board sports was inspired by new and old surfing graphics. My assistant art director did a great job piecing everything together for the opener. Photographs by Ben Williams.


And I really felt some love for this spread among many from our 2011 Summer Guide in the July issue. Love the quick reads, and giant cool treats that make you want to lick them right off the page.
