Besides various committee and board positions over the years, my primary role within the St. Louis chapter of the BMW Car Club of America was as editor and art director of the quarterly newsletter Gesundheit from the spring of 2003 through the fall of 2009.

A decade after its formation the Missouri Foundation for Health developed a new strategy for grantmaking. Self-evaluation of lessons learned and new leadership fueled the impetus to change, but it was also necessary to reaffirm the foundations goals with the partners and relationships already in place. This website guides viewers through MFH’s journey through reflection on the past, development of a new strategy, and the future impact of the foundation’s work to improve the health of Missourians.

This Funding Programs brochure was used to introduce potential grantees to the health issues MFH was targeting for 2011. The inside back cover also serves as a pocket folder for tailoring this general information with additional fact sheets and hand outs for specific audiences.

Reinsurance Group of America Technology Partners is an internal department focused on the application of web and software based applications to develop and enhance the underwriting capabilities of clients. For a service called The Insurance-to-Institution Solution, I designed the i2i logo to reference the familiar concept of “business-to-business” and to create a mnemonic typographic solution. It uses the three colors of the RTP group and the number two physically traces a path from “i to i.”

Reinsurance Group of America’s human resources department developed new recruiting materials for domestic and international offices. To emphasize the generous benefits of employment at RGA, I developed a new identity for materials under the heading “Total Rewards.” This logo uses colors defined by corporate graphic standards and has a universal aesthetic to suit RGA’s global operation. Positive and negative spaces create a plus sign and equal sign—the equation that illustrates the benefits of employment with RGA as the sum of all the components. Elements like the equal sign can be incorporated with new elements to create active statements like “Total Rewards = Compensation.”
