Editorial Design SamplerMagazines, annual reports, pitch theater
You name it, I’ve done it. My career started in QuarkXPress, using tools that are now practically artifacts. The software has evolved, but the fundamentals of publication design haven’t. I still enjoy exploring on the mechanics of a good story, using visual hierarchy to make complex information feel effortless.
MODO Magazine
After completing my Master’s in Visual Design, I joined the Italian magazine MODO as the primary designer. The bilingual publication covered architecture, industrial design, and cultural innovation, requiring the translation of complex, conceptual content into a cohesive monthly format. I developed structured layout systems that balanced experimentation with consistency, ensuring a visual rhythm that supported long-form stories on a wide range of topics.
Over the course of a year, I produced a full series of issues and covers featuring bold, authoritative visual treatments of women leaders in design, and helping establish a durable editorial identity. This experience sharpened my ability to manage complex content and build disciplined design systems under tight production constraints.
Good design brings clarity to complex stories
MDGH Annual Report
For Medicines Development for Global Health (MDGH), a not-for-profit biopharma addressing neglected diseases, I designed the 2020 Annual Report. The project required coordination with international stakeholders and integration of on-location photography from Africa alongside complex R&D and funding data.
The goal was to move beyond a standard pipeline update. By pairing on-location photography with clinical data, the report showed the human side of drug development and global health equity.
TRUE Magazine: Shifting the Narrative
TRUE, a custom 82-page magazine developed for a pitch (TherapeuticsMD) was designed to prove we could shift the cultural conversation around menopause and sexual health from clinical taboo to candid authenticity.
I handled the editorial design from start to finish under a tight pitch deadline. The focus was on making a clinical topic feel like a natural conversation for women in midlife. The magazine served as a tangible proof of concept that demonstrated our ability to humanize medical innovation and build a brand that spoke directly to the modern woman in midlife.
