​

At The Knot Worldwide, I work on The Knot’s Editorial team as an Editorial Designer. I am responsible for creating editorial illustrations and visuals to support all editorial initiatives at The Knot. I art direct illustration commissions, researching and gathering illustrators, writing creative briefs, and managing those projects. I oversee the workflow and designs of a team of freelancers who I manage. Over the course of a year, we create approximately 1500 digital visual assets, including our print magazine design and illustration contributions. I worked with our Operational Director to develop the visual pitch process and workflow for the editorial team working cross-functionally with our content strategists and editors. I have regularly collaborated across our multiple platforms such as print, digital, social, marketing, stationery and more. I curate photographs from our stock libraries to be used across our digital and print platforms. Additionally as part of a small group, we created the Editorial Cultural Campaign initiative celebrating the cultural content we create year round and spotlighting them on social during their cultural heritage month during which I commission new editorial illustrations from those in the communities.
