About Stephanie
A designer living in Washington D.C.

I’m currently a designer at The Washington Post and I work on a wide range of projects across the newsroom. My work includes UX/UI design, web development, art direction and print design.
Previously, I was a designer at The Seattle Times and the lead designer at the Sacramento Business Journal.
In my free time, you can find me rock climbing or taking photos.
