I am excited and honored to win a 2012 American Inhouse Design Award from Graphic Design USA Magazine.

My design won in the publications category, for the 2011 print edition of Contact, the University of North Carolina School of Social Work’s news magazine. I am the School’s director of communications and Contact’s editor and graphic designer.

Graphic Design USA is a monthly news magazine for creative professionals. The American Inhouse Design Awards competition is the original and largest showcase for outstanding work by inhouse designers. According to Awards Director Rachel Goldberg, more than 4,000 total entries were received this year for consideration among 24 categories. A highly selective 15 percent were recognized with an Awards Certificate of Excellence.

This is my fourth American Inhouse Design Award, having also garnered one in 2007, 2008 and 2011.
