Ludique Magazine
Founder, Lead Designer, Interviewer
I started Ludique Magazine in January 2013 with some friends, which later expanded to including international contributors too. The idea was to showcase what at the time was a vibrant mobile photography community, back when Instagram was a photo platform.
The mag started out the first year with interviews, articles, and more that were designed into the pages of the publication itself. The goal was to bring the traditional feeling of a physical magazine into a new non-traditional digital space.
Later, the magazine pivoted to a web-based approach and went through a couple of different versions. Initially it was a white-background centric look to allow the images to stand out, followed by a more colorful site that embraced the expressive palette of the photographers and fun spirit of the magazine.

Cinemisto
Founder, Curator, Designer, Interviewer
This personal project started in 2015 as an ode to cinematography in movies, focusing on the visual craft.
It then turned into a platform for short films, a medium that is often not given enough attention. Including interviews with directors such as Myrsini Aristidou for Semele, Thea Gajic for The Importance of Skin, and Erin Vassilopoulos for Valeria.
I designed the logo, the website, and conducted interviews with the directors.
LÉTE Magazine
Lead Designer For Original Branding
I met Ryan Lyons when I was working at RESPECT Magazine in the summer of 2012. We connected over a shared and similar love of music, culture, and art. We kept in touch and have remained good friends. He'd been thinking about starting his own brand and platform for years, and when he decided to start building his new publication - we naturally began working together on it. Ryan has a very unique style and voice, one which I understand and identify with. So my role, as the Lead Designer, has been to interpret his vision and work hand-in-hand together to bring out a fully realized version of this world through design and visual communication. This included making the logo, the website, and more.
