Editorial work

From profiles on female business owners and independent fashion and home brands, to travel, food, design, and style stories, my work covers a wide range of topics. 

Unfortunately, much of my editorial work was for brands that have since vanished into the internet void (RIP Sweet & many others). But I’ve managed to dig up some links and even resurrect a few pieces from the archives to give you a feel for what I do.

 
 
Ellen Van Dusen for Sweet

Ellen Van Dusen for Sweet by David Cortes, 2016

Sweet

Sweet was the first-ever media brand to launch on Snapchat’s Discover platform. It’s goal was to champion the people, places, and things that make life more interesting across a variety of categories. I was the brand’s social media editor and contributed stories in the lifestyle vertical. Sweet doesn’t exist in any form anymore, but I’ve rebuilt some of my favorite articles below.
