Hello, I'm Chelsea 👋

Graphic Designer by day,
Fiber Artist by night—
dog lover always.

I'm a graphic supervisor at CNN with 8 years of experience in Broadcast Media. Growing up, I was fascinated by my local evening news! Once I learned how hard it is to read a teleprompter, I knew my future would be behind the camera. Many years later, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Broadcast Media from Florida International University.

Having been a self taught Photoshopper since 2005, I decided to pursue my M.F.A in Media Design from Full Sail University and graduated in October of 2018. As a graphics artist, I'm able to use my knowledge from production experience and journalism school to make visual aids to support the important stories we tell. When I'm not working, you can find me embroidering on the couch, or chasing adventures with my dog, Bonnie.

Branding

From detailed maps to election polls, I work with my team to establish and reinforce network brand guidelines

SOP Design

Standard Operating Procedures are my jam! How else would we stay consistent across an entire network?

To make outstanding UX work, it still needs polished visual design in which I excel as well.

Editorial Research

We make graphics to aid in story telling, so researching the details behind the story is key to crafting effective visuals for our viewers.

Collaboration

An engineer and an artist walk into a bar, finding a way to bridge communication between parties is an art I've perfected!
