Callie Lau
Lead Editorial Writer ‧ 2023
Haute Magazine
I contributed a 16-page feature to Haute's landmark 376-page edition, Limbo, an editorial exploration of digital burnout, human connection, and global technologization published alongside profiles of Offset, Liquid Death, and The 1975. Working within cross-functional teams of 80 members, I collaborated with photographers, production coordinators, and visual designers across the full pre- and post-shoot lifecycle, navigating the complex handoffs and quality standards that large-scale integrated productions demand.
The experience sharpened my capabilities that sit at the core of both creative production and content standards work: executing within defined creative frameworks, maintaining tonal consistency across a multi-author publication, managing cross-disciplinary dependencies without losing quality, and delivering under high-pressure deadlines.
During my tenure, Haute's readership grew by 50% from 600K to 900K and was named a national finalist for the Association of Collegiate Press's Design of the Year.
