Editorial Design 2003-2008
My editorial design career began at Cycle News, one of the most respected publications in the motorcycle industry. I joined the team through my friend Kat, the magazine's Production Manager, after we had previously worked together at Churm Publishing (OC Metro), where I started as an entry-level graphic designer. Working on a weekly publication that covered major national and international racing events meant every Monday was a press deadline, creating a fast-paced and demanding production environment. The experience taught me how to work efficiently under tight deadlines while producing high-quality editorial layouts. Featured below is a small selection of work from my time at Cycle News.
