Hello! It is so exciting to be in this position right now.
MY FAVORITE THINGS: ORGANIZATION
There has been a shift in the world that has deeply impacted people’s perspective on their home — and it’s for the better. Homeowners are more aware of what is and isn’t working and prioritizing a better version of their home in terms of beauty, comfort and functionality. Kansas Citians want and need a local resource to show them how to transform their personal spaces to best serve them. That’s where I come in. Some of you may know me from my 20 years of publishing in this niche market of home design. I aspire to serve all design-savvy readers with the knowledge to make the best choices for their home, always with the aim to be hyperlocal and resource-heavy, featuring inspirational projects from local professionals. I am not alone in this. I am proud to once again team up with Publisher Keith Sauro to launch this long-time dream of ours to create the highest-quality magazine yet on the market that exclusively dials in to the best home-related services and products available. Its large format and clean layout brings inspiring photos to life and is worthy of every Kansas Citians’ coffee table to return to time and again.
DRAMATIC ACCENTS
AN OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE
Our experienced team also includes a talented design and sales staff — and that’s where our partnership extends to YOU. Together, we can create an unparalleled product that inspires and moves Kansas Citians to create their best home. It is my pleasure to introduce you to DesignKC.
