My role: One of the successes of this story was being involved early in the process which allowed me to help shape ideas for the visual direction and storytelling of the page. My early ideas included working with video to get drone footage so we could to annotate Alysa Liu’s choreography. We were also able to get images from the choreographer’s notebook and I came up with an idea to combine the notebook photos and videos to visualize Liu’s program.
I built scrolly elements, created overlay visuals in Photoshop, figured out the pacing of the story and visuals and selected the best photos and videos to best tell the story.

My role: I began planning this coverage months before the record was broken. I knew we would want fresh visuals for this line of coverage, so I proposed a photoshoot with Alex Ovechkin. Once that was on the books, I helped come up with the look for the shoot.
I reviewed and researched all of The Washington Post’s previous coverage of Alex Ovechkin and started brainstorming visual approaches for telling the story. After developing several mockups and presenting concepts to editors, we decided to combine two ideas — a goal tracker and a timeline highlighting our best Ovechkin coverage over the years — into a single experience rather than creating separate pages.
The page launched when he was 10 goals away from the record and I created a plan to update it after each game in which he scored.
I collaborated with editors and teams across the newsroom to ensure alignment around our record-breaking coverage. I predesigned poster pages, multiple A1 print options for any night the record could be broken, Instagram graphics for goals 20–1 and the record-breaking moment, and supporting homepage assets. In addition, I helped design and promote the “Ovechkin Career” commemorative book, which was made available for subscribers to purchase the night the record was broken.
