My background in design coupled with a foundation in journalism has lead to the creation of some of The Washington Post’s most dynamic and forward-thinking products. I also have a knowledge of the business demands of digital media, having lead high-impact initiatives that have helped to shape company strategies.
In my role, I have lead a team of more than 40 editors, designers, animators, video editors, multiplatform editors and writers. The team has launched several high-profile owned and operated products including: On the Record (a daily habit forming news quiz game), “Washington Post Select” (The Post’s highly visual and tightly curated national app), The Lily (a cross-platform experience aimed at informing and empowering women) and By The Way (a cross-platform travel experience aimed at today's traveler). The team is also an engine for introducing new products and storytelling techniques that we deploy in our relationships with distributive platforms and other technology partners. Think Apple News, Flipboard, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and Amazon.
The Team operates on an editorial philosophy and design sensibility that takes advantage of the small screen for mobile-first storytelling. We are consistently in the innovations mindset, knowing that once something is launched, it’s on to figuring out what the next big thing will be.
