Beginning on Page 4 of the Spring 2022 Mitchell Hamline alumni magazine is a main story and related elements I wrote about the 100th anniversary of clinical education at the law school.

I wrote a short feature about one of our professors emeriti in the Spring 2017 Mitchell Hamline alumni magazine, on Page 16.

Editing

I created the new alumni magazine for Mitchell Hamline after William Mitchell and Hamline Law combined to form the new school in 2015.  I served as executive editor for the first five issues--Spring 2017, Winter 2017, Winter 2018, Winter 2019, and Winter 2020--planning, assigning and editing stories, overseeing layout and design, and managing production.

Collateral production and creative oversight

As director of marketing and communications at Mitchell Hamline, I developed the content and oversaw creative design of collateral in support of admissions recruiting, donor relations, academic centers and institutes, and other programs of the law school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the latest admissions viewbook I produced, in October 2024.​

 

The creative director and I strove for arresting visuals and design, as in this brochure for our patent law program in 2022.
