“You can be cautious or you can be creative, but there’s no such thing as a Cautious Creative.” - George Lois
Creative Direction
In 2021 I had comfortable job on Capitol Hill as a press assistant/legislative correspondent. The office was a positive environment and the staff was very supportive. Each year I received a raise and every other year I would have the opportunity to tackle a new job. But when the prospect of becoming the Creative Director of Washington City paper presented itself. I chose to leave my comfort zone and stability to follow my true passion, which was creative direction and news design. AND it was in D.C.!? I couldn’t pass this up. Though my tenure was short due to the print paper eventually being cut, I regret nothing! Below are a few of my favorites from my tenure as Creative Director of Washington City Paper!
