EDITOR IN CHIEF:
Heading Drake Mag, a Pacemaker and award-winning magazine, as Editor in Chief is where I grew most as a leader, teammate, and creative. I created a new hand-written type to give our brand a refreshing look, introduced new branded merchandise, started mailing comps to readers from coast to coast, re-branded our social media, and threw a launch party to celebrate it all.
