Ampersand Magazine, Issue 7
Ampersand celebrates people and place in the Pacific Northwest. It explores the scientific and the quirky found in our natural and built environments. It highlights the art, ideas, and stories that elevate our region.
As managing editor and designer of this award-winning magazine, I developed story ideas, managed relationships with contributors, and designed the 48-page publication.
