Creative Direction, Publication Design, Photography
The U Scene is the University of Cincinnati’s fashion publication. Along with the founder, Daniela Blanco Asapchi, I was a Co-Editor-in-Chief for the first print issue. I then served as the sole Editor-in-Chief for the second print issue that is set to publish this fall. I led the development of the visual system for the magazine as well as the social media and branding. I was responsible for overseeing the creative direction, guiding the overall aesthetic, and leading design meetings to ensure alignment with the magazine's vision. Along with creative direction, I managed all U Scene projects, served as a publication editor, and contributed my own photography, layout design work, and writing.
