The end of 2025 also brings to close my time at Architectural Digest and Gentlemen’s Quarterly.
It is absolutely insane to look back at my career and now fully see myself and my work as part of the magazine community and industry. Not too long ago, that wasn’t the case.
During my time at both
@gq and
@archdigest I learned to embrace my ideas, talent, and point of view thanks in part to the many lessons, adventures, wins, disappointments, up hill battles, and cry sessions that have been part of this journey. This self-assuredness has been only possible due to the many brilliant individuals, friends and collaborators that have crossed my path, allowed me and encouraged me to be myself, work hard and party harder. There are too many people to mention (you know who you are and what you mean to me!) but I wouldn’t be the editor I am today without Dana, Amy, AWF, Tracy, and Mr. Will Welch.
It’s hard to walk away from such a tremendous life and career experience but I’ve always been a firm believer in taking huge risks, so here we go.
