Palmetto Trail - Sports designer Will Martin wrote a story about the Palmetto Trail for one of The Beaufort Gazette's feature sections. Fellow Copy Editor/page designer Rachel Ferguson and I created this graphic to illustrate the trail. I also was responsible for developing the headline, designing the page layouts, selecting the photos and copy editing the entire design.

Brookfield + Riverside landmarks - This spread received a 2010 Illinois Press Association third place award for informational graphic.

bike trails serving carol stream, ill. - not only did i design the page, but i created the map, too. it was based off of several maps that were provided by the village of carol stream (which I came across on the web). it published in suburban life publications.
illinois redistricting for cook county - this is the second part of a two-part series. this particular spread ran for the Cook County papers of Suburban Life Publications. I created the maps in Illustrator and the pages are executed in InDesign. the maps only show a small portion of a larger map I executed, which covered Cook, DuPage, Kane and Will counties.
who's your illinois rep? part 1 of 2-part series - initially, i created a 1-column locator map to accompany an editorial for Suburban Life Publications about the redrawn political districts. Because there were too many details, it was decided to create a project that included the state house, state senate and congressional redistricting maps, which I developed and designed the pages. Fellow designer Jennifer Berta helped create the congressional overlays. The maps zoned.
