Annelisa Stephan

Annelisa leads a Getty team focused on web, user experience, and digital media that seeks to connect new audiences to old art. She’s currently co-leading the project to redesign Getty’s website (including the very page you’re on now), with a focus on governance, content design, information architecture, and content operations.

Before joining Getty, Annelisa worked editing nonfiction books and developing movie scripts, among other word-nerd pursuits. She has a B.A. from Yale in History of Art and an M.A. from UCLA in Germanic Linguistics (the history, structure, and culture of the Germanic languages, including English), and was a Fulbright Scholar in Berlin, Germany. Favorite topics of conversation include California native plants, paint colors, etymology, and birds. Her favorite bird is whichever one she saw last.
