CALLIE M. LAU
Lead Writer ‧ 2023
Haute Magazine
My final stop before transitioning into marketing was as an editorial writer at Haute Magazine. As Haute evolved from a student fashion publication into a nationally recognized editorial force, I contributed to its boldest issue yet: a 376-page edition titled Limbo, exploring digital burnout, human connection, and global technologization.
My 16-page feature ran alongside profiles of Offset, Liquid Death, and The 1975, and was produced in collaboration with a team of 80+. I worked cross-functionally with photographers, production coordinators, and visual designers to ensure seamless execution pre- and post-shoot. During my tenure under Creative Director Anoushka Buch, Haute’s readership grew by 50% (from 600K to 900K), and the magazine was named a national finalist for Association of Collegiate Press’s Design of the Year.
