Life update: I’ve decided to become a recruiter. Every time I speak to someone incredibly talented, they always complain about their job. If you’re a creative and need support in figuring out your next steps, tell me what you’re looking for, I’m listening.

Last year, a company wanted to sue Lovers Magazine for trademark infringement. They even threatened legal action. I guess when life gives you lemons 🍋, you make lemonade 🍸, so we took this as an opportunity to launch a new brand... Meet Spaces ✨

We've featured over 450 individual designers and so it was a natural step to start featuring teams. Here's a little fun video I made to celebrate that milestone 🏃 And check out these beautiful designers 🔥 Can you guess who they are? 👀 (audio on 🔈)

We settled the lawsuit by agreeing to rebrand, with Lovers Magazine acting as a sub-brand and Spaces being the primary brand. We will still keep the name Lovers Magazine, but it will be on the new domain , and our new handle is @spacesfamily

Long term...Spaces is an interface for collaboration based on a plug-and-play model, where builders can use Spaces as a launchpad to launch their own products that serve designers. If you're a solo builder, I would love to see how I could help.

Following this, we thought, why not create multiple sub-brands that will be connected with a "universal navigation" sitting at the top, acting like a guardrail. Each project will be complementary in nature and create an entry point for designers 🌎

"Why so many projects?" We're adopting a multi-faceted approach. Each project is interlinked and works together in a complementary way. The common thread is the focus on the designer's journey, which involves improving their craft through education and finding their next gig.
