Tory is truly excellent in all the ways. She's brilliant, unselfish and makes everyone around her better. It was a privilege to share bylines with you, Tory!

I have a lot to figure out. But if anyone is hiring, especially in the NYC area, please reach out.
The visuals team at Axios has distinguished us from the competition time and time again, and has only grown more ambitious and capable. HIRE THESE EXPERTS.
