AS&E
For more than 50 years, American Science and Engineering (AS&E) has been a provider of advanced X-ray technologies for detecting threats at ports, borders, military, high-threat facilities, and critical infrastructure all over the world. For the past 12 years, we have created the annual report for the technology company, along with other marketing materials. Now that’s a lot of synapses.

Custom photography
We have shot photography of AS&E’s employees and detection systems that were featured in several annual reports. The images were also used in company brochures, data sheets, trade booths, PowerPoint presentations, and on their website.
I’ve worked with Shelley on more than 12 annual reports for AS&E. She would say that she’s a designer, but I think she’s much, much more. She helped to strategize, conceptualize, write, edit, art direct, design, and typeset every book. Every year, we would meet to present our layout concepts to the CEO. Even in the most challenging meetings, Shelley always took the time to provide insight as to why the idea would work, and, in the end, it always did. Working with Shelley made my job so much easier during those demanding and challenging summer deadlines.
