Leading CNN Digital’s motion graphics and design team, I drive creative for news and storytelling across platforms. With expertise in design, illustration and motion, we create compelling content for digital news, video explainers, branding, social media, streaming platforms and interactive experiences.
About me:
I’m a Jamaican-Italian art director based in New York. I grew up on the Ligurian coast of Italy, spent my teens in Berlin, and later studied and worked in London as a motion graphics designer. Work and life have taken me across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, before landing in New York for a creative role.
Starting over in new places has shaped how I work: curious, adaptable and grounded in a beginner’s mindset. I've had the chance to collaborate with teams at TED, Gizmodo, Vimeo, Yahoo Studios, Al Jazeera English and others.
Outside of work, I teach and practice yoga and breathwork, appreciate interior design, spend time with people I love and travel. I care about creativity, balance, wellness and social justice. Mindfulness practices keep me and my team calm and focused under pressure.
Clarity is kindness is a mantra I try to remember at work, in teams and in life.
