About Chelsea

I lead design strategy for products that empower creative work—whether that’s facilitating collaborative workshops to improve newsroom workflows, shaping the user experience of self-service analytics for reporters, or designing inventory tools for car industry professionals.

I'm currently Design Lead for creator tools and design systems at The Washington Post based in New York City. Prior to The Post, I designed growth experiments for creative tooling at InVision, documented delivery journeys at Vroom, and created an atomic design system for McClatchy's 30 local news sites.

My design process and leadership style encompasses a strong focus on user research, systems thinking, and documentation. I am passionate about improving how creators of all kinds work together and foster a team that prioritizes deep creativity and personal growth.

Outside of work, I create mixed-media paintings inspired by my favorite music and places. I love yoga, fantasy novels, cooking new recipes, and rewatching Gilmore Girls.
