valid.

It’s been a while since I posed on here! Just wanted to share a preview of a semester-long project I’ve been working on for my editorial class.

valid. is a fictional quarterly magazine that specifically focuses on the Canadian LGBTQ+ community. The magazine aims to provide a safe space for all individuals to express themselves, be vulnerable, valued, inspired, and celebrated for their diversity.

This magazine has been one of my favourite projects to complete, and one that I am most proud of. The journey from brainstorming, to art directing a photoshoot with one of my friends (the model featured on the cover), and all the way to print, has been a tiring, yet fun experience! 🏳️‍🌈
