Dark Rye

Digital Designer

Dark Rye was a James Beard award-winning online magazine from Whole Foods market. Its focus was on telling the stories of passionate people—sometimes food related, and sometimes far from it. Its heart was to shine a spotlight on the human experience in hopes of inspiring others to pursue whatever it is that makes them whole.

I worked hand in hand with executive producers, directors, editors, copywriters, developers, and freelance creatives to build the online issues. The content I created or art-directed included all imagery for the website including hero imagery and typography, DIY guides and illustrated how-to's, editoral layout, and Whole Foods supplier features.

This was fast-paced work and took some scrappy ingenuity, but it was worth it for the creative expression it afforded and for the mission of the project.
