Organization

Concert Studio is the in-house, human powered design agency behind the curtains of Vox Media‘s Concert, a publisher-led advertising marketplace. This creative and dynamic team of talented graphic designers focus on conceptualizing and executing custom advertisements for their clients, as well as conjuring up new ideas for creative formats to add to Concert’s advertising platform.

Contribution

Being a core part of the Concert Studio team from its debut in 2016 until 2023 has allowed me to contribute in a myriad of ways — designing custom advertisements from concept to completion, imagining and inventing new ad formats (such as the Theater Unit) to integrate into Vox Media’s ad creation platform, and provide exemplary examples to showcase Concert Studio’s premium ad solutions.

About tonr

VAX, the Vox Media product team‘s annual hackathon, creates the opportunity for its employees to build awesome things based on their own creative ideas. In 2016, I – along with Scott Kellum, Pam Assogba, Brittany Holloway-Brown, and Aithne Feay  – formed a team to create tōnr. In 2.5 days.

Our goal was to create an inclusive photo filtering app that amplifies how beautiful higher melanated skin tones are instead of washing them out. We looked towards deepening the subjects’ skintone instead of lightening, emphasizing the richness and saturation of melanin, and playing with interesting color overlays.
