I’ve written articles for many magazines as well as designed them from cover to cover. I’ve also worked with a creative team when my other responsibilities took precedence.

Here are some of my favorite  magazines (click the images to open the magazine):  

Summer 2023 project – SandCastles Magazine for Coldwell Banker Advantage in Southern Pines & Pinehurst. This is the U.S. Kids World Golf Championship edition. The cover was given a little brand refresh while the inside is articles and ads from REALTORS® at Coldwell Banker. I was in charge of the design, copywriting, editing, and layout of most of the content. Only a few ads were supplied camera-ready (p2, p8-9, top of p10, and p15).

InSight Magazine – A magazine focusing on diagnostic imaging and radiology procedures to identify illnesses and diseases and the course of treatment for patients; distributed in homes by mail as well as placed in key locations throughout Wake and surrounding communities; also available online for download. For this project, I retained Media Partners Inc and Oak City Communications to provide the layout and some of the articles while I was in charge of the design concept, content, editing, flow, distribution, and overall project from cover to cover.

Bimonthly Real Estate Magazine – A joint project between Hutchens Law Firm and Coldwell Banker Advantage. Due to the scope of this project, my team included a designer for the articles and the property listing pages, while I created most of the ads and edited the magazine. (Unfortunately, I don’t have the PDFs so these link to Issuu.)

Harnett Health Magazine – a health magazine for the system’s two hospitals and seven physician practices. This project was created fully in-house by me and my marketing team. Here are just two of our favorite issues:

The Great Dane: A Beginner’s Manual – an educational manual I wrote and designed when I bred champion Great Danes. This manual was available for sale to breeders for their puppy kits.

Other Hospital Magazines – Central Carolina Hospital’s quarterly magazine and Dosher Memorial Hospital’s 75th Anniversary magazine. The CCH quarterly magazine was a group project with a design company where I supplied the creative elements, instructions, and written content.

Dosher Hospital’s magazine was created 100% in-house from research to camera-ready files sent to the printer.
