Virginia lives in DC and works at The Atlantic as a designer and video producer for live events. Her work spans set design, graphic design, editorial design, illustration and art direction as well as videography, pre-and-post production, editing and animation. Her previous credits under Tremolo Productions include archival research for Chelsea Does and post production duties for The Music of Strangers. She recently created all of the artwork for Kate Kelly's debut album,
The Wonder of It All, and has also worked as an assistant teacher and backpacking leader.
Virginia graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016 with a degree in Communication and Public Service and a minor in Fine Art. She cares a lot about music (all kinds), the outdoors (most critters), the South (in all its complexity) and education. She grew up in the swamps and beaches of Fairhope, Alabama, a place she hopes you'll someday visit.

Bloomberg Citylab
I teamed up with Studio Sonic out of Washington, D.C. to create a series of custom animations for Bloomberg's virtual Citylab. Using abstracted shapes and textures reminiscent of cities and community, I made this seven-second sequence to stream during breaks and transitions in the program.

Short Films for
The Atlantic
As a Designer and Video Producer for The Atlantic, I produced, edited, and animated several short films for the events team. Some acted as trailers to promote upcoming events while others functioned like mini-docs to help set the tone before a program began.

My Dinner With Lawrence Book Design
At the beginning of the pandemic, my dad asked me to help he and his old architecture classmates design a cookbook that paired notable architects with inspired meals. The result is a 150-page collaborative project dedicated to John Lawrence, former dean of the School of Architecture at Tulane University.

It's always a special experience making music come to life as visual art. I direct, shoot, and edit music videos and promo visuals, create sets for album art and performances, and design show posters.
