Anne Telford

EDITOR-AT-LARGE, COMMUNICATION ARTS

After fourteen years as the founding managing editor of Communication Arts, Anne Telford moved to the position of editor-at-large and relocated to her childhood home in La Jolla, California. An avid traveler, she expanded CA's international coverage and developed the magazine's Fresh section. She received a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin where she indulged her taste for Tex-Mex food, independent film and the blues. Her first job in journalism was as an assistant editor at Texas Monthly. Anne was a founding board member of the Illustration Conference and is a current board member of Watershed Media, an organization that produces action-oriented, visually dynamic communication projects to influence the transition to a green society. Anne is also a published photographer with credits ranging from Communication Arts, Émigré, Blur and Step Inside Design magazines, to the San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News, Allworth Press and Chronicle Books, among others. She collects vintage cameras and fine art photography and can't wait to build an addition to her home so she has more wall space.
