Professionally...

I make graphics and interactives for Hearst newspapers. Previously, I worked as a graphics editor at The Wall Street Journal. Here you’ll find a few select pieces from my journalistic work. I often get to collaborate with my colleagues, so I have tried my best to specify what I contributed to each project, but of course, a designated role doesn’t mean I did it alone~
