ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTOR
Muzam Agha
Mesmerized by the flashing lights, glitz and glamour of a photo shoot he saw in a Bollywood film, London-born and Miami-raised Muzam Agha, knew at the age of eight that he was destined to work in photography. Serving as casting and photo director/producer for multiple editorial and advertising clients, Muzam keeps his creative juices flowing by solo back-packing across the globe (he’s collected stamps in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Thailand, Istanbul and Costa Rica to name a few). His side gig: ghost hunter.

EXECUTIVE EDITOR
Jaelani Turner-Williams
Jaelani is an Ohio-raised culture writer who’s written about music, design and everything in-between. Somehow, her collection of throwback publications like Blender, Giant, Rap-Up and Vibe accumulated since junior high magically brought her to this point. When Jaelani isn’t reading or contemplating her next trip, she’s crossing off interviews on her manifestation list one pitch at a time.

SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTOR
Melissa Tablante
Melissa Tablante once wore a Polar Bear themed cardigan to elementary school everyday because she loved it so much. Most people didn't get it (she grew up in Miami), but someone called it "her look" and from then on, she was hooked on the power of personal style. She is now a NY-based stylist and brand strategist, where she is passionate about working on projects that evoke emotion & build meaningful connection in the digital fashion space. She still wears a lot of cardigans and is still in love with the idea of dressing for no one but herself.

Fashion DIRECTOR
Alison Lewis
Alison Lewis is a New York–based stylist and fashion editor. People always assume she’s from California, but she actually spent her childhood moving all over the U.S. Her work is influenced by babes of the 1970s, pretty much any uniform, and all things Rihanna. When she is not adding to her collection of overalls she is making collages and eating ice cream.

Currently based in Brooklyn, Jessica is an in-house photo & video producer that loves having the opportunity to flex her creative muscles, while also fulfilling her innate desire to dismantle chaos and get things done. Outside of work, Jessica is particularly proud of her ability to keep plants alive, and will happily give you unsolicited advice on yours.

Design collaborator
Douglas Hayes
Douglas Hayes is a designer living in New York City. For him, drawing video game logos in elementary school turned into drawing skateboard logos in middle school, which turned into writing graffiti in high school, and then turned into studying letterforms in college. Currently, he operates independently between typeface, logo, and lettering projects. In 2022, he created the new Tidal Magazine logo in collaboration with Tida Tep, and is an ongoing contributor of lettering pieces on select stories. On Sundays, you will likely find him stressed out about the Buffalo Bills.
