Thank you for taking the time to view my portfolio. I have prepared these work samples specifically for you at The Athletic.
I am a multimedia designer with over a decade of experience in new media communication for non-profits, businesses, and independent creatives. As an interdisciplinary artist/writer/designer, I understand the power of the written word and the effective translation of it through various media with an emphasis on aesthetic excellence. My love for sports and history as a competitive athlete, combined with my years of experience in media, drive my deep desire to work in the sports editorial design and illustration space.
