What I do

I am a freelance creative director and brand designer.

Before freelancing, I was the Editorial Director for Design and Visuals at The Athletic, a New York Times company, where I led a team of visual journalists who created design and data viz for articles, social media, newsletters, podcasts and more.

And before joining The Athletic, I was deputy design director for the newsroom design department at The Washington Post — a team of more than 50 designers and editors. I led work for The Post’s apps, social media, newsletters, editorial brands, podcasts and new initiatives targeting young audiences.

How I got here

I joined The Athletic as an editorial director in 2022, helping build and maintain visual branding as well as a transformative working relationship between the newsroom and design team.

I began working at The Washington Post in 2015 as a designer for the Emerging News Products team and helped launch the Select app, Snapchat Discover channel and The Lily.

In 2018, I was promoted to deputy design director for the Emerging News Products department and design director in 2020.

Before joining The Post, I worked at The Omaha World-Herald as a front page designer. Before that, I was a student at Ball State University where I earned a degree in journalism.

Outside of work

I live in Honolulu, Hawaii just a few blocks from the beach. In my spare time, you’ll find me sipping on a matcha latte at one of my three favorite coffee shops, patiently awaiting new music from Taylor Swift or visiting my family in Indianapolis.
