Creator Mag, “Calling”



Art direction, editorial design, illustrations, social posts, and video for quarterly print and digital zine Creator Mag, which returns with a fresh team, rebrand, and mission to “Make the Internet Feel Smaller.” This season, we explored “Calling” — the things we call ourselves, calling our friends, what happens if we stopped texting, how to be more “whimsi-CALL”... Project scope included the magazine, videos, events, and an exclusive apparel collab. With design, we sought to reflect a bright, dynamic, playful, and hopeful take on the Internet in our branding.

☎️ Twenty-Five Calls for 2025

We called 25 creators and asked them (1) “What was your greatest creative win of 2025?” and (2) “What’s the biggest learning you’re bringing into 2025?” These are their anwers — in print, blog, and video.

🐎 KEEP IT MOVING Collab

An exclusive interview plus apparel and video collab with designer Jesse Nyberg. The design came from an experiment Jesse did printing on sticky notes, which are big in our office and ideation process. Working together just made sense.











📍 The Drop



We hosted our Block Party with 60+ attendees who supported our print, who’ve been to our events, and who want to build the creative community in Chicago with us.
