CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: MY MORNING JACKET’S COBRA 🐍
until spring 2023, she was the senior designer at fivethirtyeight, where she created (non-data) visuals across the site, managed a small (but mighty) team, collaborated with a diverse assortment of talented freelance artists, and worked with joey ellis to create fivey fox— an internet sensation who explained the importance of uncertainty in election forecasting models.
since then, she spent time as an editorial art director with politico, and now joins forbes for some time as a digital designer. she’d love to collaborate with you!
most often she is watching competitive reality television shows, listening to a silly podcast about themed entertainment, and intensely following all varieties of women’s sports. her favorite band of all time is fugazi.
check her out on twitter for survivor tweets, instagram for photos of vans, and on are.na for some sports aesthetics.
ACCURATE AS OF
