The Washington Post / 2016–2022
One voice. Different stages.
My role: Digital Branded Content Designer
The work
Design for a newsroom and its partners—from brand messages and events to sponsored digital stories.
The design
The poster pairs a single illuminated bulb with a direct statement. The event and digital pieces show how that clarity carries into different formats.
My contribution
Page design, campaign creative, animation, and visual storytelling, developed with teammates and internal and external clients.
From a single image to an unfolding story
Two more formats from the collection.
The through-line: a clear focal point, readable hierarchy, and an experience shaped for its medium.

Print and digital design from idea through execution, working with campus partners and guiding student designers.
Beyond the poster
Student calendars and sportsmanship campaigns extend the work into daily routines and shared campus culture.
The through-line: approachable messages, consistent visual structure, and practical formats.
