Project Overview
As Creative Director for Torah Sisters Magazine, Issue 2 (Early 2022), I led the visual direction and editorial design of a multi-page publication focused on faith-based lifestyle content, practical living, and community connection for women who love Yeshua.
This issue represents one of the earliest stages of developing a structured, content-driven publication. It includes a variety of content such as lifestyle articles, recipes, DIY projects, and spiritually encouraging topics, all designed to provide both inspiration and practical value for everyday life.
