While it was thrilling to be charged with so many different responsibilities, I most enjoyed working closely with photographers, editing and sequencing their photographs and collaboratively writing to contextualize photographs.

I'm most drawn to surprising stories that challenge assumptions and quiet stories that show the familiar in an unfamiliar way.

Here are a few of the stories I most enjoyed writing and editing during my time at ViewFind:

"Desperate Love: Life and...zon" by Nadia Shira Cohen

"Desperate Love: Life and Risk on the Amazon" by Nadia Shira Cohen

"Behind the Lens, the Cos... Conflict" by James Allen

"Behind the Lens, the Cost of Covering Conflict" by James Allen

"Columbia's Ballet Boys" by Emily Maccines

"Binary Love" by Loulou d'Aki

"Video Games Get a Nigerian Reboot" by Nick Hagen

"Two Koreas, Worlds Apart" by Jose Velasco

"Who Really Pays for Canadian Oil" by Ian Willms

Lead Photo Editor | 2015 - 2016

As ViewFind's third full-time employee, I had the privilege of nurturing a very early-stage startup out of beta and into a robust digital magazine and branded content studio with a global roster of contributors and corporate clients. I worked closely with the product team to build a dynamic web platform and award-winning mobile app publishing visual stories daily.
