I’m Chelsea Stahl. I’m the art director for nbcnews.com, where we create and commission illustration, photography and more. I am lucky enough to oversee a team of designers and closely collaborate with our photo department to help publish free and accessible journalism.
I was previously a photo editor at NBC News where I focused on breaking news and created photo illustrations. I have also worked as a photo editor at The New York Times, New York Daily News and Narratively.
I hold a B.S. in photojournalism from the Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.
I was born and raised in Queens and currently live in Brooklyn with my Italian-Tabby cat, Rocco.
