ABOUT

I’m a graphic designer and art director from Beirut based in New York. I currently work as a Senior Visual Editor* at The New York Times.

(*I work with critics, reporters and editors to craft stories that detect patterns in popular culture, unpack historical masterpieces, and highlight major anniversaries (and birthdays). I’ve used design and multimedia tools to examine iconic sentences, photos, and camera shots, great pieces of music, ugly podcast sets, stand-up clichés, translation mechanics, a famous actor’s squint and a popular TV show’s archives. I’ve also quizzed readers on tennis grunts, Suzie Greene’s wardrobe and the Roy family’s bodily fluids.)
