Fifty Years, One Mission: Great Magazines.
After fifty combined years of making magazines, we’ve learned this: the best ones feel inevitable- like they couldn’t possibly exist any other way. They’re the perfect blend of what you want to say and what your readers want to discover.
They captivate, they connect. They matter.
We create magazines for every audience - special interest groups, associations, lifestyle brands, technical publications, and more. Our range is broad, but our approach stays sharp: a small team that’s fast, attentive, and focused on delivering design excellence on time.
Because in a world drowning in noise, the thing that cuts through isn’t louder - it’s better.
Meet the Humans Behind Your Magazine
Torquil Dewar
Born in Edinburgh and trained in Newcastle, Torquil honed his craft in London, England, before making his way to Austin. Though he's still working on conquering his Texas allergies, Torquil brings decades of global design experience to every project. Outside of the studio, you'll find him with his daughter and their ever-growing collection of rescue animals.
Shelley Lai
Born in Taiwan, raised in Texas - Shelley has that perfect blend of precision and laid-back charm that makes everything better. She studied Advertising at UT Austin and learned how to really “Hook 'em!”. She then jumped into the deep-end designing for print food and lifestyle magazines, and digital music magazines (where everything has to look as good as it sounds).
