Kyle Ellis has been hired as a features designer for the New York Post, he announced late last week.

Kyle graduated last spring from Ball State University in Muncie, Ind. He spent the last three years as a designer and artist for the Ball State Daily News, where he built pages and centerpieces and wrote an occasional column. He interned in 2008 with the Courier and Press in Evansville and then this past year with the Sun Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

I’ll be working mostly in features with the understanding that I’ll be helping out in news as needed.

Obviously, I’m incredibly excited. I feel like I’ve won the lottery to land a features design position with such a storied paper… especially as my first gig out of school. I can’t wait to get started!

Kyle starts his new job Feb. 1. He’s never even been to New York, he says. He’s welcoming any advice folks can give him on housing options.
