...

Currently, I am the Design Director at Deadline Hollywood – Entertainment News. Overseeing all creative products from events to marketing and print to digital.

Previously, I worked with my husband (photographer) at Fah+Mindo, where we produce bespoke imagery – still life and stop motion animation – for established and emerging brands. In between art directing and conceptualizing shoots, I design magazines and books.

Most recently, I embarked on a deeper dive into UX/UI design on Figma, building upon my previous experience in UI design. My editorial background enables me to craft strong narratives and visually compelling stories through user experience and interface design.

Previously, I was the Art Director at The Hollywood Reporter, a weekly magazine focusing on entertainment news. I designed cover features, packages, lists, and Award Specials and Standalone issues for the Oscars, Emmy, Golden Globe, and Cannes Film Festivals. I also created photo illustrations, data visualization and commissioned illustrators.

Prior to that, I worked at Hearst Magazines International, where I defined and delivered creative strategies for all Hearst brands globally. I also mentored Art Directors and designers for the international titles of Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Town and Country, and Good Housekeeping magazines.

I am highly experienced in product launches and was instrumental in launching two niche magazines, Travel+Leisure Southeast Asia, based in Bangkok, and Cosmopolitan for Latinas in New York City. I hired and led teams for both of these titles.

I have also produced celebrity covers and fashion photoshoots worldwide.

From my early days at a national newspaper in London to my current base in Los Angeles, I continue to embrace new challenges and deliver creative solutions.
