How do you give culinary creatives a stage of their own?

The Libi Journal is an independent print publication made for and by culinary creatives, documenting the stories of mission-driven individuals at the intersection of food, culture, and entrepreneurship. As part of the founding team behind The Libi Project, our founder Sarah shaped the brand image and layout for this first issue, alongside Carli Gordon, Sarah Palmieri & Omer Kaplan.

All photos were captured on film by Omer Kaplan.

Two views of the journal sealed in a clear wax paper bag — one showing the front cover, one showing the cover tilted with a blue paperclip and a photo insert of hands slicing food on a cutting board.
