How do I think RGD has helped me in my career?
“Being an RGD Member has given me access to a community larger than my professional network. The people I've met through this organization have given me opportunities to grow I'd never even dreamed of.”
I know a lot about...
“Magazines. I adore periodicals as both storytelling vessels and design objects—but I'm also interested in the business of making magazines.”
