I curated the magazine’s visual content, selecting the right imagery and designing eye-catching spreads. Additionally, I oversaw the team's design development, ensuring that each spread captured the essence of each shoot and maintained visual coherence and appeal. I was responsible for curating the magazine’s visual content, from selecting the right imagery to overseeing the design development of eye-catching spreads that captured the essence of each shoot.
