Alexandra Zsigmond
Senior Art Director
The New Yorker
New York, United States
Alexandra Zsigmond is a New York-based art director and curator working at the intersection of fine art, illustration and editorial design.
Her core interest lies in the use of metaphor and symbolism in visual art, as a tool to represent complex ideas and visualize the invisible realms of mind, thought, and emotion.
From 2010-17 she was an art director for the New York Times’ Opinion section; currently she is senior art director at The New Yorker. She has collaborated with a roster of over 1000 artists worldwide and art directed over 4000 editorial illustrations.
Alexandra is also a visual artist, and her most recent works expand upon the ancient tradition of metal votive offerings (τάματα), which are used in the Greek Orthodox church to pray for healing.
