      During my time at WAG, I had a number of jobs; however, my diligence and interest in the magazine afforded me the opportunity to write and produce a feature about an up-and-coming ceramicist who worked for high-profile clientele like Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Additionally, I contributed to the design process by generating ideas for spreads for magazine’s travel issue.
