Raise Your Brand. A full print magazine, start to finish, alone.
MY MAGAZINE
I Wrote, Styled, Shot, Designed, and Published an Entire Magazine.
This is the part I always forget to mention, which is a little ridiculous considering what it took. I wrote every word, styled and shot every image, designed every page, and published the whole thing myself. A full print magazine, start to finish, by my own hand.
It started small. I told myself it would be easy, that every six months I would just compile a few blogs into a little guide. But true to form, I ended up with a huge vision and could not go halfway with it. That is exactly how I work. I keep my eye on the smallest details, the tiny elements that tie an entire vision together, because those are the things that make a finished piece feel whole instead of assembled.
Here is why this matters for your book. Producing a cookbook is a book length editorial project, recipes, images, layout, and flow all working as one. I have already done that, alone, from the first idea to the printed page. So when I tell you I can help carry your book all the way to the finish, it is because I have carried one there myself.
