MEET THE PUBLISHER

KHALIPH YOUNG

Publisher-Creative Director Lotus | Content Creator, Strategist

Long before my journey into television, multimedia, and digital storytelling began, my passion for creative media was sparked in the most nostalgic way flipping through the pages of my motherʼs magazines. Titles like Vogue, W Magazine, Architectural Digest, and National Geographic filled our home, each page a treasure trove of captivating photos, brilliant layouts, and stunning graphics. I was mesmerized by the artistry and craftsmanship that brought these publications to life. Those moments ignited something in me, and before long, I was cutting out images, making collages, and immersing myself in the world of design.

This love for graphic design and print has always stayed with me. Itʼs a passion thatʼs evolved as Iʼve grown in my television career by doing motion graphics for TV and video projects, but one dream has remained constant: creating a magazine of my own.

Itʼs been an idea that has lingered in my heart, waiting for the right moment to take flight, and now, that moment is here. Enter Lotus. This digital magazine is a canvas where I can celebrate the creative things and people who inspire me artists, designers, and creative visionaries whose work and stories deserve to be shared. Lotus isnʼt just about showcasing creativity; itʼs about sparking something within all of us. Itʼs a space for creative rebirth, renewal, and the rediscovery of inspiration through the artistic lens of others.

So hereʼs to new beginnings and creative journeys. Welcome to Lotus, a celebration of art, culture, and the endless pursuit of beauty and meaning. Letʼs bloom together.
