About
I'm a visual storyteller and art director with over a decade of experience in photojournalism, photo production, editorial illustration, and digital design. I lead with empathy and design with intention, actively contributing to creative projects from ideation through execution. By collaborating closely with photographers, editors, and designers, I transform creative concepts into compelling, impactful visuals. I’m driven to shape stories that resonate and leave a lasting impact. Currently, I am the Senior Photo Editor, Visuals at HuffPost. Outside of design, I share my love for creative expression as a Teaching Assistant at the International Center of Photography.
