Experience
Art Director, Illustrator
Dec 2022 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US
I lead the visual direction for tech coverage at The Washington Post, creating illustrations, animations, and editorial designs that make complex stories more engaging and accessible. Working closely with editors, reporters, and freelance artists, I shape visuals that enhance storytelling across platforms, improve user experience, and reflect the Post’s high editorial standards. In addition to my responsibilities as art director, I also illustrate for all of The Washington Post\'s beats. I decide what tone and style best reflects the journalism, and what creates the best experience for our readers.
