The Hook Spring 23

Spread Design

The Hook Spring 2023 marked the year I stepped into the role of Production Manager at Pirate Media 1. During this time, I honed my skills in creating effective magazine spreads and deepened my understanding of graphic design principles. I also had the opportunity to collaborate closely with the Creative Director and play a key role in building and managing our design team.

Hook Fall 2023

photography and Spread Design

The Hook Fall 2023 This project marked a significant turning point in my career, as I transitioned from Production Manager to Creative Director. I took on the photography and design for both the Editor’s Page and the Good Soup spread, blending my visual storytelling skills with my design sensibilities. With a small, tight-knit team, I often had to adapt quickly, stepping into various roles to ensure our workflow remained efficient and on schedule — a challenge that sharpened my leadership and creative problem-solving abilities.

For the Good Soup spread, I transformed my original photographs into cutouts, adding a playful, layered effect to capture the viewer’s attention. Drawing inspiration from traditional recipe cards, I aimed to evoke the warmth and nostalgia of classic cookbooks, enhancing the personal, handcrafted feel of the piece.
