About

In an extremely fast-moving, creative environment, our Graphics & Publications department fields a huge variety of design projects from all different directions, at all times. I try to lead by example and ensure that my staff takes a fun and creative approach to all design solutions while maintaining our brand in our effort to help each of our other departments (and the Zoo as a whole) succeed. Our work is on display to over 1.5 million visitors who come to the Zoo annually, and our design efforts help our administrative teams tell their stories, which helps ensure future success of this non-profit Cincinnati institution.
