Kelly Conniff has been appointed as the head of creative at TIME Studios.

Conniff will report to Dave O’Connor, president of TIME Studios. She will be working closely with the leadership team to contribute to the journalism, events, programming and support special projects.

In addition to her new responsibilities, Conniff will retain her title as deputy editor of TIME and will continue supporting special projects, including leading Person of the Year.
