Hearts Magazine

From 2016 to 2020, I was the founding publisher and editor-at-large of Hearts Magazine. Hearts was a chic and playful biannual print publication that offered weekly digital content, focusing on queer and outsider culture from the past.

The magazine's fashion perspective combined a deep appreciation for this history with the vibrant energy of today’s emerging designers.
