Virginia Living Magazine - Selected Work (2018-19)

Virginia Living Magazine is a bimonthly regional lifestyle magazine under Cape Fear Publishing with a focus on all things Virginia. Founded in 2002, it is the only statewide lifestyle magazine in the Commonwealth. As Assistant Art Director of a 2-person creative team (under the direction of Ann Harvey), I directed photoshoots, hired collaborators, planned various events, and designed the layout of half of each issue.

Ann and I coordinated the full visual content for two magazines every month: one main issue and one special issue. We adhered to the brand guidelines, with a traditional southern style, but worked to include a new language to appeal to a younger audience.

I was also responsible for producing monthly web content, including pop-ups, banners, and social media assets.
