The Washington Post
In my current role as a design editor, I edit visual stories across the newsroom. I assist in assigning designers to projects that align with their interests and goals, and work closely with designers, editors, reporters and photographers to shape the presentation of stories. I provide feedback, support and direction to designers throughout the stages of each project. Below is a sampling of projects I’ve edited in this role. Click any image to view the article.
Newsroom projects
In my previous role as a designer, I contributed to multi-platform projects across the newsroom. I worked on a mix of print and digital design, illustration, art direction and web development. Below are a few samples of my work from my time in that position.
Project 01
Whistleblower
For this project, I illustrated and designed four stories about an explosive whistleblower complaint obtained by The Washington Post, where the former Twitter security chief claims Twitter buried ‘egregious deficiencies.’
These stories lacked photos, so I built a consistent visual identity around the imagery of a hashtag to unify this project. I also went through 120+ pages of documents to add redactions so we could embed them in the story online.
Project 02
Vaccines
In March 2021, I designed, illustrated and animated this story about the pro-vaccine messages that people want to hear.
Project 03
Help Desk
During the summer of 2022, I worked as the designer of The Post’s personal technology section, the “Help Desk.” Here’s a collection of my design, illustration and art direction work. Click on each image to enlarge.

Project 04
Shenandoah
I designed and developed this gripping story about Ty Sauer, an honor roll student about to graduate high school, who stole his mom’s car, drove to Shenandoah National Park and vanished.
Project 05
A collection of my favorite daily print pages.
Project 06
Department
of Data
For this project, I was tasked with branding a new column from The Washington Post: The Department of Data.
This new column from Andrew Van Dam explores the weird and wondrous power of data, through overlooked and under-appreciated data sets. I commissioned a portrait of Andrew to use as the branding, as the goal of this project was to make this column very personality-driven around Andrew.
