Role

Principal visual designer

Content verticals

I led a re-branding and redesign of CNN's digital politics, entertainment, and tech coverage in 2010. The stated goal was to create a set of independent destinations for niche news coverage. The endeavor necessitated an overhaul of each section front on CNN.com as well as the CNN Political Ticker and The Marquee Blog.

CNN Trends

I led the design and branding of CNN Trends, which was a trending news aggregator powered by Zite. CNN Trends surfaced the top ten trending news topics from around the web. Each topic was anchored by a CNN story and included stories from other reputable sources, giving users a well-rounded picture of the news of the day.

Indie Asia

CNN partnered with Sub Pop Records to create a series of videos chronicling the indie rock duo Handsome Furs' travels through Asia. Armed with flip cams and notebooks, Dan and Alexei guide viewers through the indie music scene in several Asian countries.
