I work at the Minnesota Star Tribune, wwhere I use code and persistence to build and tell visual stories.

I teach at the University of St. Thomas, where I’m an adjunct professor in the Department of Emerging Media.

My work has been honored by the Society for News Design (where I was a finalist for World's Best Designer), the Pulitzer Prizes and the National Headliner Awards. I was also named Young Journalist of the Year by the Minnesota chapter of the Society for Professional Journalists.

I'm on the computer a lot for work, so when I'm not, I try to stay off of it — to varying degrees of success. I go on runs with my dog (who vastly outpaces me), speed-read book club books at the end of the month and knit.
