I worked for CBS News for nine eventful years. Even though I was a mere designer, my desk was in the storied CBS Broadcast Building in Hell's Kitchen, directly upstairs from the newsroom. I walked daily though the broadcast studios, so I felt like I was a small part of something important: the fourth estate's duty to inform the public. It was quite an experience to witness such a tumultuous period for the news industry.
I was initially part of a small cross-platform team that rapidly iterated on the CBS News website and wide array of mobile & OTT apps. During a later corporate reorganization and multiple rounds of layoffs, I became the sole designer specifically for the web platform.
The team became globally distributed during the COVID pandemic shutdown in 2020. In late 2025, the parent company Paramount, under new ownership, offered a "severance opt-in package" to a large percentage of remote employees, and I decided to accept.
Below are case studies on a few of the projects I worked on. Unfortunately, many of these involve disappointment and frustrations, but I have attempted to be fair and accurate. I will add more projects over time, including: EPG design for iOS and OTT/CTV apps, video push alert design, and a comprehensive redesign of the web homepage and interior page templates
