The Washington Post on Instagram
In my current role as a design editor at The Washington Post, I oversee the design of The Post’s social accounts by working closely with a team of designers to adapt The Post’s brand and content for social. I lead the visual strategy for our main news account, @washingtonpost, as well as our sub-brand accounts: @postclimate, @poststyle and @coveringpolitics.
Below is a small sampling of design work from our social accounts, created by designers on our social team.
In my day-to-day work, I collaborate with designers, social editors, photo editors and video producers to produce thoughtfully curated off-platform experiences. Additionally, I oversee the creation of templates and updates to our in-house social card generator tool, and I help with planning larger projects and campaigns.
In 2024, our Instagram won a Webby award for best social (news and politics), our fourth win in five years. We also won a gold medal for social channel design from the Society of Publication Designers, and our social design was awarded several individual awards of excellence and portfolio wins in the annual Society for News Design competition.
