Currently, I work with my husband and photographer at the Fah+Mindo studio, 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. My editorial background enables me to craft strong narratives and visually compelling stories through user experience and interface.
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 Harpers 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.
