Placeholder Magazine

An arts and culture publication for a nonprofit, where I led both the design and the development. The work spanned the editorial identity and the website that brought it online.

The project

This was an arts and culture publication for a nonprofit, where the editorial side and the digital side needed to feel like one thing. The aim was a reading experience that did justice to the writing and artwork while being practical for a small team to publish and maintain.

Because it was a nonprofit effort, the project rewarded doing more with less: a clear visual system, a layout that put the content first, and a site that was straightforward to keep up to date.

My role

I led both design and development. I shaped the look and feel of the publication and then built the website that delivered it, owning the work from visual design through to implementation.

Let's talk.

I'm currently exploring design leadership and senior IC opportunities. If you're building something meaningful and want a design leader who can also build, I'd love to hear from you.
