Lynzi Judish – Jute Magazine

As an established photographer, Lynzi Judish knows just what makes a good image –– that’s why she can live her dream in both the photography and publishing realms. As editor-in-chief of Jute Magazine, Lynzi produces a high-quality fashion magazine with the magical kind of editorial content you can’t find in mainstream publications. At the same time, she somehow juggles her professional career in photography…and her uniquely creative eye is evident in both worlds.

Elizabeth Stein – Purely Elizabeth

Organic food and healthy living are the ways of life for Purely’s Elizabeth Stein. But clean eating doesn’t mean cutting ‘delicious’ out of your vocabulary, as shown by Elizabeth in her seasonal publication. Featuring a wide array of healthy, gluten-free and/or vegan dishes, Elizabeth balances a beautifully curated publication with her natural foods business.

Giselle Melendres – Mad Sounds Magazine

Full-time student, full-time magazine editor… we’re still wondering how Giselle Melendres finds the time to do both. Nonetheless, twenty-six publications later, Giselle has mastered the balancing act of editor-in-school with Mad Sounds Magazine. Each publication is filled with rising stars and notable names; in creativity and culture, Mad Sounds is making the grade.
