Editorial Designer @Thrillist
Animation & Graphic Illustration
As a staff editorial designer at Thrillist, my job was simple: make people stop mid-scroll.
I created bold, collage-heavy header graphics for everything — restaurant features, pop culture breakdowns, whatever New York was eating up that week. The challenge? Distill an entire story into one image that hooks you before the headline even registers. Maximalist layouts, retro textures, visual punches that matched Thrillist's sharp, unapologetic tone.
I also jumped into motion graphics and animation for the video team when content needed to move. Fast deadlines, high output, zero tolerance for safe design.
Every piece had to nail Thrillist's voice: witty, opinionated, impossible to ignore. This role taught me how to work at digital speed — think fast, design faster, and turn complex ideas into eye-catching content that actually stops the scroll.
