Projects
I have experience leading and collaborating on projects for major newsrooms, as well as local ones. My areas of interest and expertise include: audience and community engagement, product development, social media and communications strategy, and UX design. I'm particularly invested in finding human-centered design solutions for newsrooms. Check out what I've been working on lately:
