Production Artist and Graphic Designer
St Louis, Missouri
From 2006 to 2014, I had the pleasure of providing graphic design services to HDA, Inc. Currently known as Design America, we developed and designed home plan books and magazines that were distributed to retail stores, including Home Depot and Menards. I also helped with website maintenance and wrote articles and blogs for houseplansandmore.com.
Design America Magazine
HDA, Inc. originated as company that sold and custom designed home plans. Our Design America magazine was developed quarterly and offered beautiful home plan designs that were available for order.











Home Plan Publications
Home plan covers were carefully selected to be the most appealing on the shelves.











Spreads, Marketing,
and Articles
The insides of the magazines and home plan books are just as lovely as the covers. . I also design advertising materials for the trade shows.
I wrote and designed articles based on home design. Many of the articles are still available on houseplansandmore.com, including topics on
