101 Best Restaurants in L.A.2023-Present
I handle creative direction for L.A. Times’ yearly tentpole event and the Food team’s biggest moneymaker. My duties bleed into motion design, video production, event production, and on top of it all, an 83-page magazine that incorporates the list, a cocktail roundup, and the yearly entrants of the Restaurants Hall of Fame. The magnitude of this project is hard to depict here, but it’s an incredible team effort that brings together voices from around the whole city for a single night of shared celebration.
