I’m Lucy, a Brooklyn-based senior designer at The Washington Post.
I build templates and design posts for our Instagram accounts; create and art direct illustrations for stories; and develop brand systems and promotional materials for various newsroom projects.
When I’m not designing, I love baking, weightlifting, going to the movies, and hanging out with my fluffy tortoiseshell cat.
