I lead the team of designers responsible for the product experience of 18 owned and operated editorial news and entertainment brands at Vox Media. Major projects I have overseen since 2022 are redesigns and platform migrations for Vox, Polygon and The Verge. Prior to 2021, I was an editorial product designer for New York Magazine, and its portfolio of sub brands. From 2017-2020 I redesigned The Cut, The Strategist and Curbed. These projects required a new visual identity, while simultaneously rethinking product and editorial. For example: evolving a multi brand article component based design system; expanding an affiliate commerce popup into a fully fledged stand alone brand with an advanced suite of commerce driven storytelling components; rethinking the function of a homepage; launching a paid subscription business. Editorial Product Design most accurately describes my approach to this work: fully automated CMS generated experiences, along with unique, carefully crafted, thus more expressive and memorable than the usual run of the mill. After 25 years in editorial working with editors, designers, artists and storytellers, collaborating with stakeholders comes easily via an engaged and knowledgeable perspective, and ultimately delivers consistently successful outcomes that meet both business and editorial objectives. High caliber content paired with a quality experience produces ia winning formula for attracting a loyal and engaged audience.
