Message

At Jewish Tribune, I directed weekly publication design and print production for issues of up to 120 pages and 5,000 copies. I oversaw layout, pre-press, proofing, and press sign-off.

I coordinated a team of 10 and a network of 70+ contributors, artists, freelance designers, and suppliers. I commissioned artwork and managed briefs, deadlines, and delivery through a remote production workflow.

I introduced tracking systems, templates, and InDesign scripting and automation to improve production efficiency and make weekly schedules easier to manage. I also mentored new recruits and grew the publication’s digital audience from 5,000 to 40,000.

Earlier, I designed editorial layouts and magazine covers for CONCORD MAGAZINE, receiving the Frank Cass Award for Best Magazine Cover. My experience also includes commercial print production at KISHARON PRINT SHOP and PRINT24 / UNITEDPRINT.
