Chicago Architecture Center
As managing editor at the Chicago Architecture Center (formerly the Chicago Architecture Foundation), I wrote stories about the organization and Chicago, edited content for architecture.org submitted by other departments at the CAC, updated content on the website's homepage, managed a group of volunteer docent writers, ran the production of a quarterly member magazine, led a weekly editorial team meeting, edited print collateral and produced a monthly staff e-newsletter.

I was the primary writer and editor of all the print collateral listed below. These pieces required coordination with various departments in the organization, including operations, development and education. I worked with the marketing team to decide what these pieces of collateral should look like and led the creation of original, new boilerplate copy about the CAC to support our re-brand. I served as editor of the member magazine from fall 2017-winter 2019 and worked extensively on its redesign. More examples available upon request.
