September 30, 2016

White space is one of the most undervalued things in design, publishing, and mostly media.

Kristin Lenz is an Art Director at Inc. magazine.

Before downsizing from 52 issues a year to 10, she worked in newsrooms at The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Hartford Courant and others, helping to tell complex, and sometimes boring stories, in interesting and thoughtful ways. Her work has been recognized by the Society of Publication Designers, Best of American Infographics, the Society of News Design and Print's Regional Design Annual. She likes running and chocolate chip cookies, one more than the other.
