About Me
I am a data and graphics journalist exploring new storytelling methods for investigative stories and a co-founder of the Center for American Politics and Design (CAPD), a research group investigating the graphic vernacular of American politics.
Day-to-day, I do a mix of data reporting, creating visualizations, and front-end web development for enterprise and investigative stories across McClatchy publications—Miami Herald, The Charlotte Observer, The Kansas City Star, The Sacramento Bee, to name a few.
I was recently part of the team honored by the National Press Foundation, Investigative Reporters & Editors, and Society for News Design for the “Big Poultry” series investigating the poultry industry in North Carolina. Some other projects include investigating sludge in South Carolina and mapping foreclosure lawsuits in St. Petersburg, Florida that disproportionately hit Black communities.
Previously, I worked as a strategist and designer at the branding agency Graj+Gustavsen on projects for commercial clients including Kohl’s, 7-Eleven, Easy~Spirit, and Men’s Wearhouse.
