I'm part of the team that makes sure what you see on MotorTrend.com looks good and reads well. I’m a graphic designer by trade, having worked for Classic Team Lotus, Group Lotus, and McLaren Automotive among others through a design agency. Being a visual person lends itself neatly into curating automotive images online for MotorTrend.
My love of everything automotive (since I was the height of a tire) has contributed to helping bring out the best of what MotorTrend offers to its online audience. Besides reading about cars, I love watching motorsports—especially endurance racing along with single-seater racing and motorcycle racing. As a racing fan I took my interest to the next level by doing track days… corners are so much fun!
