Hi, I’m ellen.

I’m currently the Senior Director of Design Operations for the American City Business Journals,
where I oversee 3 teams and 22 designers working with 40 Business Journals across the country.
During my time at ACBJ, I’ve been both a design manager and designer, collaborating with both editorial and advertising teams.
I also coordinate our company-wide file management, production deadlines, communication methods, and workflows.

My background is in journalism and editorial design,
but I’ve also created digital and print advertisements, along with brand marketing materials.
Creating conceptual illustrations, building information graphics, crafting headlines, and laying out information on tight deadlines
are aspects of storytelling that are particularly exciting to me.

I previously did work for The Washington Post, and was Creative Director of The Post's daily commuter publication, Express.
