Bio
Maryanne Murray
I have known Paul for five years, representing most of the time he has been with the Journal. That Paul is a capable designer is not the most important thing to me; there are many people who possess the skills. What IS important is that he is a good teammate. In a volatile and pressure-packed environment like ours, you need to know that everyone is working towards the same goal. Even when we disagree, he is never disagreeable, and I know that he is always striving for the best solution. He is tireless in his commitment to excellence.
Nick Hallam
I have known Paul since beginning at the Journal in 2010. He is a superb designer with a keen eye for visuals and elegant solutions even in trying circumstances. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and his positive attitude is a huge asset when tackling difficult problems. I am familiar with Paul’s work outside of the Journal, and I have been impressed with his strong conceptual and typographic skills.
