From stringing for the New York Times in college to being the managing editor of the technical journal Digital PrePress, I have a range of clients with an array of editorial needs. I have written extensively about design, print, prepress, computer (Macintosh) and Internet technologies and successfully managed staff, stringers, budgets, designers and deadlines.
