Sooo happy I found your substack. I went to school for design and remember pouring over Design Milk in college the way it sounds like you poured over those other publications. You did it! 😍

The first bit of this read almost the same as my story that I literally just wrote about yesterday 😄. Magazines that painted that glitzy publishing dream in NYC and living a slightly less-glitzy version of that. Though I was happy to read your ending was happier than mine (so far) ☺️.

Looking forward to reading your writing! Sounds like we have a very similar route, or at least a lot of overlapping paths!
