Discover the secrets top editors use to build teams, audiences, and brands.

 

Victor has always been a natural storyteller. From beach reads to blockbusters, good narratives are what he loves most, leading him from a journalism background into the world of design. Branding, creative direction, writing, and editing are his specialties, and over the past two decades, he has won a number of awards for his work.

Victor has spent the majority of his career as a magazine art director, focusing primarily on upscale travel and interior design. In addition to his role at Be Amazed Media, he currently serves as the design director of VERANDA, a luxury editorial brand (owned by Hearst) that covers interior design, style, and travel. Prior to founding his own creative agency, he also served as design director at Time Inc.'s Coastal Living magazine and as art director at Parenting magazine.

Although much of his career has been spent in the world of creative direction, Victor has also written, edited, and copyedited at several publications as well, covering everything from weekend getaways to interior decorating to the latest luxury spa treatments. He holds two journalism degrees: a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Kentucky and a Master of Science (with a focus on Magazine Publishing) from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism.

Victor's profession has taken him from his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, across the map, allowing him to live in many amazing cities: Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, Miami, Orlando, and even Stockholm, Sweden. Outside of work, his passions include travel, good food, and the arts: interior design, photography, music, books, and theater.
