An Introduction
I am a writer and artist living in New York City since graduating with a degree in journalism and studio art in 2003. By trade I am a publication designer, and most of my professional career has been in the Catholic Press, where my creative direction has placed my projects in the national awards spectrum for the last few years.
I am also an avid language learner and the owner of the world’s most ferocious cat.
Outside the nine-to-five, I give my attention to my great loves of nonfiction writing and travel photography. And last winter, at hearing of my beloved Rocky Mountain News closing down, I renewed my vow to preserve the classic craftsmanship of print: writing letters, framing pictures and publishing one great book over the course of a lifetime. This website is dedicated to the trials and adventures that create such art.
Follow my site for updates on my current work and inspiration, or send me a note on my connect page. I’d love to hear from you.

In creating this site, I’d like to acknowledge the real-life people whose beautiful and distinct personalities inspire me every day, including my sister Emily, David Hilgier, Chelsea Lucas Tillman and Anthony Tramontano.
I have had many teachers and guides who have given me the most wonderful gifts of all, including my parents Jack and Carol, Eleonora Zilio-Miller, Luc Beaudoin, John Woods, Bethany Kriegsman and Paul Ghiglieri.
