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.

GRAPHICS & ILLUSTRATION
Superhumid is a creative studio

in journalism, music, and film.
Scalawag Magazine
As one of two Visual Editors, I create story art,
infographics, and editorial illustrations while
working on the magazine's overall look and feel.

Bloomberg Citylab 2021
Using abstracted shapes and textures reminiscent of cities and community, I created a series of playful and engaging animations
that streamed during breaks and transitions in the program.
MOTION GRAPHICS
"Quiet as a Mouse" Music Video
I directed, shot, and edited a music video for singer-songwriter
Kate Kelly. Shooting hand-held and in natural light, our two-person
production became a labor of love between childhood friends
turned creative partners. The video was selected for the 2020 New
Orleans Film Festival and 2021 Sidewalk Film Festival.
VIDEO EDITING & PRODUCTION
The Atlantic's Education Summit
An annual, full-day event on the state of our education system.
I extended the event branding across set design, environmental design, student art exhibits, and a yearbook-inspired interactive installation.

The Atlantic Mini-Doc
In 2019, The Atlantic hosted an event called Athletes + Activism. Together with the events team, contributing writer Jemele Hill,
and the National Museum of African American History and Culture,
I created this short opener to set the tone before the event began.
