What I do

I am the Editorial Director for Design and Visuals at The Athletic, a New York Times company. I oversee a team of visual journalists who create work for articles, social media, newsletters, podcasts and more.

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 oversaw 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 design director in 2022.

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 Washington, D.C. in a row house apartment with lots of exposed brick and a growing plant collection. In my spare time, you’ll probably find me exploring the city (The Hillwood Estate, The Glenstone and The Kreeger Museum are my favorites), listening to Taylor Swift or visiting my family in Indianapolis.
