Create from the founder
Welcoming a new year filled with new goals and new adventures, 2014 can only bring bigger and better things to the Rhode Island Creative Magazine and the creative community. Moving forward on the exciting path I have created, a few goals of mine have been set for the RICM and will take place in
the upcoming months. I look forward to sharing them with you along the way so stay connected!
The February issue is filled with a variety of topics from many great artists and organizations in our community. Take the time to read the informational articles they have put together for you. There are some really important tips we can all learn or refresh on from time to time. Also, enjoy the featured articles from PeaceLove Studios, The Escape Pod Podcast and Rob Rey, another amazing artist that I have become a fan of.
I hope you enjoy the third issue of Volume 2. Another issue filled with great artists, organizations and information that we all can enjoy. The topics are expanding and will continue to do so. I will do my best to help promote and emphasize all the positive creative talent, movements and information here in Rhode Island to pass onto you.

Vision Design
THE MISSION The Rhode Island Creative Magazine’s mission is to make Rhode Island’s creative industry, and Providence, its Creative Capital, shine! This truly unique one-of-a-kind publication is an important resource that will create awareness of the outstanding creative talent of Rhode Island, attract and expand business opportunities, create jobs, promote local education, small and large businesses, organizations, designers, artists, printers, writers, students and others who are (and will be) an equally important resource for our economy.
By gathering a variety of experts in the industry, producing a visual and educational piece, we are able to showcase what we do on a much larger scale. RICM will educate and promote the current and upcoming creative professionals, organizations and local talent. It will provide inspiring as well as educational articles written and contributed by local colleges, universities, businesses, organizations, and artists in this industry.
where we are now and where we are heading
THE MAGAZINE Rhode Island Creative Magazine (RICM) is a stepping stone towards to bringing all the professionals around the state together, creating a movement, building awareness of the talent and education we have here in RI. With a lot of hard work, teamwork, and leadership, we as an industry can achieve this. I am here to lead this movement and help make a difference. Many of you have already joined me for this journey and I hope more of you will and help grow our team.
EducateMentor Imagine
How can we grow? Business to business marketing is the key. I am here to help educate you, promote you, and connect you to new markets. That has been my daily mission as a designer for years! Now I am doing that on a much larger scale. The RICM relaunch event was a great example of what I have already started to create. We have been brought together by sharing the mission, supporting each others profession and passion at 100% contribution. We all didn’t know each other but we all strive for the same goal, success! RICM has brought and will continue to bring a wide range of professionals together to make a difference and to achieve the mission.
Innovate
NOW: RICM is currently an online magazine as we all know. It reaches locally and nationally! That is the benefit of having it on-line. I receive comments and compliments from across the globe regarding the articles, the design, the concept and how useful this creative resource is to them! It is an amazing feeling to know that the audience is enjoying it, creating conversations about the topics and sharing it with their, friends, family, students and coworkers. It will continue to be a downloadable resource that you can share to grow the audience and create awareness.
HEADING: There are many goals in place but I will only share just a few. One of the goals of course is for a printed version to be distributed throughout RI to really deliver the message. A printed publication will deliver such an impressive statement. The quality of print, paper and design will grab anyone’s attention and draw them in. This will be a publication to be displayed on your coffee table, keep in your library, and never in the trash can. It is a magazine you can always reference back to!
Another goal is to restructure the curriculum. RICM is heading to the classrooms! I have already made an impact on some schools which is fantastic. I will continue to do so by presenting to schools about the magazine and its mission. Educating the upcoming young professionals of what to expect out in the real world and what they need to know about being hands on in their career path to achieve best practices. Whether they want to be a pressman or a sculptor, the foundation is the same, passion and drive. Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty.
