Foreign Affairs

As a side gig, I directed the covers at Foreign Affairs from 2015-2018 during and beyond my time as Creative Director for 10 Speed Labs.

In the nearly three years since I've taken the role of cover creative direction for Foreign Affairs magazine, we've seen newsstand sales double, and subscriptions have grown by 50%. We've also dramatically reversed the tide of slowing subscription growth — a rarity in today's rapidly changing print publications market.


Awards and Recognition:

2016 Folio Eddie Award for Editorial Excellence, Best Full Issue, Consumer News for our September/October 2015 Issue "Obama's World: Judging His Foreign Policy Record"

2016 Press Release: Foreign Affairs Achieves Record-High Readership with Both Print and Digital Growth

2016 National Magazine Award Finalist for General Excellence

2015 National Magazine Award Finalist for General Excellence & Best Covers
