Morningstar Advisor Magazine

Morningstar Advisor magazine was launched in the spring of 2007 as Morningstar's first magazine for financial advisors. I was a member of the launch team, where I developed layouts, typographic standards, and an illustration strategy. I also drew the Morningstar Advisor title mast. After the magazine's launch, I became its associate art director. In 2011, I became its art director.
