Before I was a writer, I was an artist.

My early sketches were done hunched over the kitchen counter, scribbling furiously in dozens of sketchbooks. Now, I transfer them to my computer.

I don't draw as much as I used to, but I still love making art. Visual work, like graphics and UX/UI design, speaks to me because of how it allows me to incorporate my love for bright colors and creative flair into tools that make news more digestible, interactive and accessible.
