◆ The Situation

Create an independent print magazine at a time when everyone said print was dead, celebrating "revolutionary kin" (kind people doing cool things that make the world a better place) through personal essays, editorials, and interviews.

◆ The Approach

Launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2019, raised $20,000, and produced a 184-page debut issue exploring the human concept of time. Three sections: Introspection (personal essays), Invention (editorials with creative influencers), Inquiry (interviews with artists, researchers, and activists).
