This was such a rewarding article to work on. Jen and I were excited to represent the disabled community and simultaneously give estheticians guidance on how to begin to make their practices Accessible. By far the biggest challenge for me was to source images that were in-brand, beautiful, and representative. In the end, the copy and the imagery came together better than I could have imagined.

The beauty industry has been growing at an intense pace—around 64% over the last ten years, and shows no signs of slowing. "...along with the increased demand for beauty products and services comes a lot of packaging—over 120 billion units annually, according to Terracycle—and most of this packaging is not recycled (or recyclable, for that matter)."—ASCP Skin Deep, Sustainable Beauty, Autumn 2022
This issue explored things estheticians should consider to become more sustainable within their practice. This article really inspired me to coax out the textures of our daily lives and to make these ideals tangible. I think trying to balance the ugliness of waste with the feminine beauty of the brand really pushed the design into a unique and creative place.

Barbering is indisputably considered an art form that requires skill, training, creativity, and a sharp eye. One way that Associated Hair Professionals recognizes this craftsmanship by lifting up professionals in the industry with the Hair Pro of the Year awards (formerly AHP Indie Barber of the Year). In 2023 Dave Peters, AKA: Pittsburgh Dave, got to share his story with the industry in AHP Indie Stylist magazine. I had the pleasure of working with Dave and the rest of the team to art direct the photoshoot and design the magazine.
