Concept : Create and share untold adventure stories
CLIENT : Stay Wild Magazine and their countless Partners
MY ROLES : Founder, Creative Director, ART DIRECTOR, WRITER, Producer
On April 1st (April Fools Day) 2014 I started Stay Wild magazine with funding pitched in from friends, family, and perfect strangers who believed the world needed a new kind of adventure magazine. We published 24 high quality paper issues, made videos, got a lot of followers on Instagram, hosted countless events (including the world’s first adventure festival), and truly inspired people to reconsider what being wild means.
My job title was “Main Helper” because I did everything from writing, camera handling, editing, team assembling, illustrating, laying the magazine out, working with advertisers to custom create branded content, working with real people to make their stories shine, working with the printer, and hand delivering magazines to radical retailers.
