My Background

I am ProPublica’s design director, leading product and brand initiatives. Since joining in 2019, I have designed and developed numerous visual stories, along with improving newsroom publishing workflows and the broader user experience. My work has been recognized as part of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for the “Life of the Mother” series as well as by the Society for News Design and the Webbys.

Previously, I led product design at the American Civil Liberties Union and worked on The New York Times product design team. I hold a degree in architecture from the University of California, Berkeley.
