Breaking new ground.
Al Jazeera Media Network announced that it will launch a new U.S.-based news channel that will provide both domestic news and international news for American audiences. The Network has won numerous U.S. and international awards for its journalism and with more than 70 bureaus across the globe it has one of the largest bureau footprints and newsgathering forces of any news network in the world.
My role at Al Jazeera America (Ajam) had me working closely with both the Art Director and Creative Director in the new designs for on air visuals for each channel vertical. I led in in interface design of television on air branded elements both motion and static, and design for large-scale video walls. Later I too led in the new refresh Ajam homepage site from Design Format to over all new branding style and tone.

Always think mobile.
I enjoy the challenge of breaking my design work and fixing it for the better. Such as in the case of how a large grid of content looks on various formats.

Mobile, the fastest news source around.
We live in a mobile first society and of course Ajam had to also be on the cutting edge of how people got their news. The new site refresh has to fit all formats of devices and the king of these is of course mobile phone devices.
