Golden Magazine
Golden Magazine is a student-run fashion and lifestyle publication at the University of Minnesota I founded in 2021.
After a semester of planning, Golden Magazine launched on the University of Minnesota’s flagship campus in 2021. Under the leadership of myself and my two co-founders, roughly 150 students on 10+ teams produced the first two editions in May and December of 2021.
As a student organization at the University of Minnesota, Golden Magazine produces one digital publication each semester, as well as regular digital content on their social media channels and blog. Each of Golden’s bi-annual digital publications is created around a guiding theme and includes a number of creative photoshoots accompanied by corresponding written stories. All aspects of the production are student-led. Within several months of its founding, Golden became a well known name on campus and is a growing presence within the Twin Cities creative community.
My roles at Golden Magazine have included Founder and Editor in Chief.
Among the tasks and accomplishments included in these roles were:
- directing the creative vision of brand including photoshoots, social media, and blog
- creating the organizational structure, dividing the staff into focused teams, and appointing leadership positions
- Generating production calendars for the primary publication, as well as social media and blog content
- Overseeing the editing of all writings for the primary publication and blog
- Producing in person events, including a 275 seat sold-out runway show for Fashion Week MN.
