Best New Bartenders 2025

Role: Creative Direction, Design, website build, Photo production and Video editing

One of Punch’s key editorial franchises, the Best New Bars program spotlights five newcomers each fall, along with an Industry Icon.

As creative director and designer of this package, I assigned and managed the production of all photography, designed and built an original layout for web and mobile using Ceros, and collaborated with the editorial and audience development teams to position the content across our platforms.
