Read Interview
I’m an art director, artist, and designer working in visual storytelling and digital editorial design. I’m passionate about history, ecology, and the politics of style. The current Art Director for The New Yorker dot com, I previously created multimedia stories and art directed for print at the Opinion section of The New York Times. In my free time you can find me rock-climbing in Brooklyn or reading old magazines. I grew up on a small island in the rural Pacific Northwest.
