Book design has always meant something special to me—maybe because books endure. I love bringing an author’s work to life, creating covers that capture the heart of a story and shaping a rhythm between text and image that feels natural and intuitive.

The Quiet Landscapes
of William B. Post
Art Direction / Layout / Production / File Management / Press Check
Client: Minneapolis Institute of Art
Award: Honorable Mention: Best Catalogue Design, American Alliance of Museums (AAM)
The book’s thick uncoated cover, tipped-in image, blind-embossed title, tissue overlay, and soft textured paper—reflect Post’s themes of snow, apple blossoms, and water lilies. These choices enhance the tactile and visual experience, reinforcing the quiet, ethereal qualities of his landscapes and creating a refined tribute to his artistic legacy.
From Our Ancestors: Art of the White Clay People

Client: Minneapolis Institute of Art
Award: Best Catalogue Design, American Alliance of Museums (AAM)
From Our Ancestors: Art of the White Clay People celebrates and preserves the A’aninin tribe’s heritage. Rooted in a multi-generational research project by George P. Horse Capture and Joseph D. Horse Capture, the catalog reunites artifacts with the tribe and fosters intergenerational connection. Its design—alternating silhouetted objects with full-page images on warm-white, uncoated paper—amplifies both the beauty and story of the artworks.
