From the editor

I launched High Flying Design because the most useful business knowledge comes from women who are still in it — still doing the work, still showing up, still figuring it out. I wanted to create a space where those women could be heard, and where the women reading could feel a little less alone in what they're building. I hope you find something here that stays with you.

Alongside the magazine, I work with established small businesses whose website no longer reflects the business they've built — rebuilding them in Squarespace so that the next time someone looks you up, what they find finally matches what you deliver.
