MISSION STATEMENT

Lit by Design, founded in 2019, is an online and in-print literary magazine run and operated by the students of New Design High School. Lit by Design is dedicated to introducing teenagers to the world of writing, publishing, interviewing, reviewing, editing, and designing, whether it be on slides, websites, or magazines. We hope to entertain and inspire and enlighten readers like you with the best work submitted to us in the 2022-2023 school year by NDHS students. We thank all contributors and the many talented artists and writers who did submit work that for any of a variety of reasons could not appear in this issue.

THANK YOU!
