Previous to this, I held the role of Director of Global Brand Design at Herman Miller. For eight years I held the role of Brand Creative Director of Vanity Fair, where I was responsible for all touch points of the iconic media brand. Recruited in 2012 by the legendary editor Graydon Carter, I built a multi-disciplinary team that produced innovative design, photography, motion graphics, illustration, and typography, visualizing the content in a myriad of new ways. I also designed the branding and identities for Vanity Fair’s conferences, websites, digital verticals including the HIVE, social media, videos and marketing. Prior to this, I spent over seven years leading the art and design at New York magazine, under renowned editor Adam Moss. I joined a team of editors, photo directors, and journalists, to transform New York into a groundbreaking and acclaimed media brand. My art direction and design were widely recognized for their inventiveness and originality, creating an award-winning visual identity as New York magazine became a leading voice in national journalism. Earlier in my career, I spent two years as a designer at the New York Times Magazine, and worked on branding projects for the United Nations, Ogilvy&Mather and Lan Airlines in Chile, among others. I was hired right out of art school to be the art director of Adbusters, a Canadian journal about social and environmental issues, my redesign and art direction received international recognition. I have received more than 60 awards in all areas of visual communication, including gold medals from the Art Directors Club, Yellow Pencils from D&AD, and the National Magazine Award for design. I also have been fortunate to work with students, teaching design at art schools in New York, including Cooper Union, Parsons School of Design, and NYU.
