Worth Magazine had been publishing for over 30 years when I led a full redesign across print and digital. The new identity was built on restraint, clarity, and modern luxury—redefining everything from editorial pacing to typographic tone. Across covers, features, and franchises, the redesign brought structure and sophistication to a legacy brand.
