Geoff Giordano's work

Name

Geoffrey Giordano

About

I am a battle-tested, often-awarded editor and designer with 15 years of big-market experience in daily newspapers, weekly news magazines and monthly medical publications. I've excelled in leadership roles with significant responsibility as an AME of news, senior front-page editor, art director and group editor. Time and again, I've brought instant improvement to publications I've taken the helm of. As a leader, I've raised the bar by holding myself to the highest standards and showing staff at all level how to attain those standards as efficiently as possible. I bring in every project I touch on deadline, under budget and at the highest level of execution. From the smallest copy-editing job to the biggest content or design brainstorming session, I bring the same boundless enthusiasm and sound journalistic principles.

I also write profiles of working musicians for In Tune Monthly magazine, a publication geared to enlightening young music students, and I've edited and written guitar-related pieces for some of the industry's top editors.
