For: Magazine

In this first issue, we explore the broad concept of maturing, considering the growth and change of people, societies, and ideas with the passing of time. Our articles explore the experiences of people who have dedicated their lives to peace and to human rights, people who preserve the religious or culinary histories of their communities, and people who design housing and community gathering places. All are people who improve the lives of others. We have gathered their unique stories together in one place to inspire our readers to challenge preconceived notions of “growing up” and “growing old” and consider the role of time and maturing in our own lives.

I worked on this project as the co-editor and co-designer. Since the very beginning conceptual phase of shaping what we wanted the magazine to be to finding and commissioning stories and visuals (photography and illustrations) in 13 countries and 5 different languages. I also wrote a short story for a photo essay on the french photographer JR and illustrated one of the stories myself.
