A recent project from our team: our Fourth of July weekend special issue. To commemorate the 250th anniversary of our country’s founding, the magazine asked seven leading historians to write about a participant in our nation’s founding whose story has rarely been told. We reimagined those histories through an immersive graphic format across both digital and print. 
 This was an enormous collaborative effort on the visual side. Huge credit to @kate_larue for leading the project with incredible thoughtfulness and care, and to @timdrawsinink, whose extraordinary illustrations brought the story to life across the entire project. Storyboards by @bigscreenboards. The interactive experience was made possible through the development work of @jmyint and the print issue was designed by @annie76828. @janlichte helped shape the typographic language of the interactive, David Carthas was the photo editor, and @bengrandgenett offered input and guidance throughout the process. Credit as well to everyone else on the team who contributed in countless ways to bring this project together. 
 Proud to have been part of this remarkable collaboration. 

See the full interactive via the link in my bio. 26 Jul 2026 Really proud to share the magazine’s visual teams (design, photo and the kids section) were named Design Team of the Year by the Art Directors Club again this year. It’s the 10th consecutive time the team has received this honor, which feels pretty incredible. We’re truly honored and humbled. I feel so lucky to work with this group. The talent is extraordinary, but so is the collaboration, generosity, and care people bring to the work and to each other. 

Thank you to the @artdirectorsclub judges!
 It was also wonderful to see Deb Bishop honored with the ADC’s Paul Manship Medal, a major recognition of a career defined by incredible craft, leadership, vision, and impact on the industry. It’s hard to imagine anyone more deserving.
 Couldn’t be prouder of this group.

@j_dims, @dbishopme @bengrandgenett, @kate_larue, @annie76828, @redithw, @clauisru @vescobar.studio, @janlichte, @iguessnick @jmyint, @_calebbennett @allison_pasek, David Carthas, @amykellner, @kristen.geisler, @shannonsimon, @roryannaw, @coralie.kraft, @_hannahwhitaker, @miameredith, @fdidini, 25 May 2026 This week, the magazine published a package on the 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters. In addition to the list, there are 7 long-form video interviews, along with several other components, including a way for readers to vote for their picks. The package features stunning photos by @stefanruizphoto. 
A huge amount of care and collaboration went into this involving many, many people from the magazine and across the Times. Here are some of the main contributors from the magazine:

The design team: @kate_larue and @janlichte and spearheaded the design; creative direction by myself and @bengrandgenett; @jmyint did the development work; @vescobar.studio did the video titling. With additional design contributions from @redithw, @clauisru, and @iguessnick. 
 The photo team: @j_dims and David Carthas
 The edit team: Jake Silverstein, Sasha Weiss and Nitsuh Abebe

Videos directed by @joshuacharow

Thanks to our marketing team for the billboard! @lauraforde, Jordan Jacobson

And thanks to @casamagazinesnyc for the window takeover!

Check out the link in my bio to see the online version of the list and the interviews. 03 May 2026 The newly redesigned @nytmag out this weekend!

It was a thrill to have the chance to remake the magazine with our visionary editor, Jake Silverstein and my longtime partner in crime, design director, @bengrandgenett. Also lovely to continue our partnership with Henrik Kubel of @a2_type, whose beautiful fonts have been in use in the previous version of our magazine for over a decade. 

As with all redesigns, this is a starting point. I can’t wait to see what our incredibly talented team does with this new format!

At #DandAD25, @nytmag Creative Director @gailbichler sat down with D&AD Editor @madschowdhury to share how her team turns complex reporting into iconic visuals, and why simplicity is often the boldest move. She says, “If you're going to make a visual that is communicating something, it has to be something actually pretty simple and direct.” See more talks from D&AD Festival over on YouTube.

Words by Kevin Roose, Casey Newton, Charlie Locke, Kim Tingley, Robert Capps, Bill Wasik, and Susan Dominus. 22 Jun 2025 So much fun celebrating with the @nytmag team at @spdesigners #pub60! We were thrilled to bring home the top honors! 🏆✨ The night was doubly meaningful as we honored the iconic Janet Froelich with The Herb Lubalin Award. Her work shaped my idea of what magazine design could be as I entered this industry. It had such artistry and intelligence and originality. I’m forever grateful that she took a chance on a designer with no magazine experience and shaped the path I’m on today. ❤️
