A long list of contributors
YEAR2017–Ongoing If you asked me what my dream job was at 16 I would have said “editing a BMX magazine.” BMX magazines didn’t really exist when I was ready to jump into the work force though, so I just started my own.
I started Challenger BMX Magazine in 2017 as a one-page foldout printed on newsprint. The goal was to offer an alternative to the generally stale BMX media landscape without breaking the bank with a print bill. At the magazine’s height, it was a 16-page tabloid newspaper supported by Vans BMX Shoes and bike shops around the world, where copies were distributed free of charge.
The magazine’s current form is a subscription-only one-pager. You can subscribe to Challenger here.
ABOUT
I’m an art director and designer with a background in photography and librarianship. I am currently designing for Morningstar.
Before my career in design I was an academic librarian at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
In my spare time I maintain a personal art practice that is based in photography. Since 2017, I have published and edited Challenger, a BMX magazine that takes multiple forms. Its current form is a hiatus.
