About Me

I’ve always been passionate about creativity. From drawing with a pencil or crayon as a kid, I knew I wanted to do something related to art. Years later, I was in an honors art program at the Visual Art Center in my youth. That prepared me for my time at The School of Visual Arts, where I studied Graphic Design as my major. I quickly developed the skills I needed to work with design legends in New York City. After graduating SVA, I worked at ESPRIT International, where I learned the role of an in-house design team that focused on designing billboards, look books, hang tags, and the overall look and feel of the brand. It was an amazing experience working with an international company where my work was seen in Europe, Asia, and all over the United States.

After working in New York City for many years, I decided to come back to my hometown of Washington D.C. The city had changed a lot since I was there. The art community had grown and become its own community of creatives. I was drawn to working at the University of Maryland, where I spent six and a half years working in the Department of Resident Life. My audience was prospective college students who were eager to learn and have fun. This allowed me to connect with the students on a creative level, following trends that would resonate with them.

I stumbled upon an amazing chance to join The Washington Post. It’s a legendary media company, not just a newspaper, but a powerhouse in the media tech industry. I got hired as a digital designer, and my mission was to boost revenue for the Post and keep our newsroom at the top of its game. This involved digital advertising, marketing design, and coming up with new and innovative ways to advertise. The best part? The audience wasn’t just students anymore; it was a global community eager for knowledge and facts. As I moved up the ranks at The Post, I’m now creating custom content user experience design that focuses on storytelling in a unique and human-centered way. It’s all about connecting with our educated visual readers. And guess what? 2021 was The Post’s best year ever in terms of revenue, and they’re not slowing down anytime soon. I’m thrilled to be part of the mission and can’t wait to see what the future holds in this exciting world of endless possibilities.
