I’m a graphic designer and art director from Beirut based in New York. I currently work as a Senior Visual Editor* at The New York Times. I’m also part-time faculty at Parsons School of Design. This website hasn’t been updated in a while! Most recent work can be found HERE.

(* I collaborate with critics, reporters, and editors to craft stories that detect patterns in popular culture, explore the inspirations behind influential works, and highlight major anniversaries.

I’ve used design and multimedia tools to examine iconic photographs, great pieces of music and ugly podcast sets. 

I’ve worked on visual pieces that unpack the art of literary translation, stand-up comedy clichés, a Hollywood actor’s squint and a popular live TV show’s archives.

I’ve also quizzed readers about tennis grunts, Suzie Greene’s outfits and the Roy family’s bodily fluids.)
