Yahoo News

As an Art Director at Yahoo News, I led the creative vision for editorial visuals, shaping the overall aesthetic and visual storytelling across platforms for a global audience. I drove concept development and execution while developing scalable formats like franchises and multimedia packages. In close collaboration with editorial leadership, photo, and project management, I help reimagine both editorial and sponsored experiences around key cultural moments. I also oversee workflows and timelines in a fast-paced environment, while building systems, templates, and playbooks that improve efficiency and consistency.
