The Washington Post

In 2021, I began working on multiplatform projects across the newsroom. I do a mix of print and digital design, illustration, art direction and web development.

Project 01

Whistleblower

For this project, I illustrated and designed four stories about an explosive whistleblower complaint obtained by The Washington Post, where the former Twitter security chief claims Twitter buried ‘egregious deficiencies.’

These stories lacked photos, so I built a consistent visual identity around the imagery of a hashtag to unify this project. I also went through 120+ pages of documents to add redactions so we could embed them in the story online.

Project 02

Vaccines

In March 2021, I designed, illustrated and animated this story about the pro-vaccine messages that people want to hear.

Project 03

Help Desk

During the summer of 2022, I worked as the designer of The Post’s personal technology section, the “Help Desk.” Here’s a collection of my design, illustration and art direction work. Click on each image to enlarge.

Project 04

Shenandoah

I designed and developed this gripping story about Ty Sauer, an honor roll student about to graduate high school, who stole his mom’s car, drove to Shenandoah National Park and vanished.

Project 05

Print

A collection of my favorite daily print pages.

Project 06

Department
of Data

For this project, I was tasked with branding a new column from The Washington Post: The Department of Data.

This new column from Andrew Van Dam explores the weird and wondrous power of data, through overlooked and under-appreciated data sets. I commissioned a portrait of Andrew to use as the branding, as the goal of this project was to make this column very personality-driven around Andrew.

Illustration and animation by Michelle Rohn.
