Watching this come togther has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The most encouraging aspect has been the support and belief from you that this magazine will fill a much needed gap in the online market for a younger generation of stylemakers.

From the beginning, Meraki has been about fresh creativity, beautiful

simplicity and a strong independent spirit. The shoots and articles that we have given birth to, I hope, show you that and I am so proud of what our team has achieved.

Whilst I think we have paid tribute to our vision in our first issue, I am even more excited to take this to the next level in our next issue and push boundaries in design and creativity. Stay tuned because we are not going anywhere and hopefully neither are you.

This release is surreal! Meraki is a long awaited and very much enjoyed project that has allowed me to express my creativity in a way like I have never done before - incorporating my love for floral designs and styling into places and spaces that I never would have thought possible.

I love the versatility in style and design

through this issue. We have had contributions from some crazy-talented entrepeneurs to geniuses who are well accquainted with design and style! I particularly enjoyed working on the 'Out of the Ashes' shoot, allowing nature to do its thing and positioning ourselves into it with an abundance of flowers, models, props and talented photographers. It doesn't get much better than that! I hope this issue inspires you and that you experience Meraki in full..
