Real Simple Family
FOR KEEPS As art director for Real Simple special projects, I designed this story for the biannual issue called, Real Simple Family. I worked closely with the editors and photo editors on the team to marry a simple yet special concept, 13 writers and photographers sharing meaningful objects they cling to from their past (dating back to even a positive pregnancy test).

REAL SIMPLE FAMILY Below are a variety of layouts I designed from a variety of Real Simple Family issues. As the Art Director of Special Projects at Real Simple, I had the pleasure working with such an array of talented photographers, illustrators, prop stylists, food stylists and many others to create such fun and versatile magazines.
