ROWDY
MAGAZINE
Featured in Nylon Magazine, STUDS and Florida Victoria's Secret PINK
Rowdy Magazine is the country's leading independently-run student fashion magazine, bridging arts, culture and politics with a provocative twist. We pride ourselves in being a vocal outlet for Gen-Z, with a reach of nearly 560k readers.
As the art director for Rowdy Magazine, I've created content for the social, layout, and merchandise teams.
Social Media
Rowdy created a podcast discussing all the pressing issues that Gen-Z cares about. Since the subject matter is broad, I wanted to create cover art that embodied Rowdy's personality without being too specific.
Rowdy partnered with STUDS, a popular New York-based jewelry company, to promote its Girl Band launch. Rowdy posted Instagram story quizzes that their followers could take and repost, spreading awareness for the launch. I designed this quiz to determine which Destiny's Child member you identify with. This campaign and my work were featured in Nylon Magazine.

Caption: Just because you’re young and no longer living with your parents doesn’t mean that the rules of social distancing don’t apply to you, so please don’t be an idiot.
We can’t say it enough: your actions affect literally every other person around you. It might be nice to finally be back on campus with your friends, but now really isn’t the time to celebrate in person. If the choice is between going out on a Friday night or sparing someone from a potentially deadly disease, the decision really shouldn’t be that difficult.
In our newest blog article, @maduhlinemurphy reminds everyone of just how important social distancing is. You can read it now at the #LinkInBio ! And feel free to send it to a friend if you’re feeling confrontational—we don’t judge! 😷🦠

Caption: Tomorrow is Juneteenth! Swipe through for a little history on the holiday and what it represents.
Though Juneteenth is recognized in most states, it still remains to be named a federal paid holiday. This year there has been an increase in efforts to give Juneteenth off, including in New York and Virginia.
