Art Direction & Lead Design.

We started Mellow out of frustration with companies and media that cared more about followers than real talent and creativity. We wanted a space that stood for authenticity, passion, and the pursuit of creative self-expression. So we built something different: a community-driven platform that showcases the highest level of climbing and storytelling. Our goal is to represent core climbing and support the growth of the climbing community from the inside out.

Mellow Magazine is the next step in that mission. A print publication made by climbers, for climbers. It exists to document our stories, preserve our history, and give voice to the culture that defines us.
