Big news for the design and visual journalism community! 🎉

We’re excited to introduce the 2026 Society for News Design Board of Directors — a talented group of creative leaders, innovators, and storytellers who will guide SND into its next chapter.

From newsroom design and product strategy to visual storytelling and education, this team represents the future of how audiences experience news. Their collective vision will continue pushing boundaries, fostering creativity, and supporting designers worldwide.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll introduce you to each member of the board to learn more about their plans for SND 💭

This summer, I joined The Washington Post as an Audience Strategy Intern on the social team 📲

I got to:
⚪️ Curate news content across IG, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Reddit, Facebook, X, Threads and Bluesky
⚪️ Dig into analytics + data-driven decisions
⚪️ Engage off-platform users with news content that upholds journalistic values and integrity

Some highlights:
🔹 Collaborating on IG carousels with @zach_balcoff & the design team
🔹 Learning from Keely Diven, Kyley Schultz Sitton & Brandon Carter on what makes content actually engaging and how that boosts our hard-news to users who might otherwise not see it
🔹 Working with amazing mentors who gave me honest feedback and helped me think about the future of journalism

Favorite posts from the summer are up in my IG reposts — including Trump’s Truth Social AI bot, a portrait in Colorado and a Gen Z intern video with @jillianbanner 👀

I’m so grateful to the entire Post newsroom for being so welcoming, and to Camille Kilgore, Carla Broyles & Bryan Flaherty for making the internship possible.

Excited to take these skills into what’s next❤️📰 The Post was an extremely inviting and friendly newsroom for me this summer, and I had the best time learning and creating social news products at an institution that remains a pillar of American journalism and a driving force for keeping the public informed on the truth in Washington.
