Hello!
I’m a Design Editor overseeing the business and politics storytelling for The Washington Post. Previously, I was the Special Sections Visual Editor leading the creative strategy for large, themed digital packages. I joined the Post in 2021 as a designer focused on developing reader experiences for digital and print. Before joining the Post, I was a lead designer at the Los Angeles Times and a lead designer at Gannett Design Studio in Nashville.
I’m originally from Los Angeles, the land of pan dulce and palm trees.
When I'm not working, I hang out with my kid, possibly go on a run, watch documentaries, or try new recipes “Chopped” style.
