personalizing print media
In high school (in Germany), my brother and I built an online platform that let users create fully personalized print magazines — choosing their own articles, themes, and even the cover.
Think: Spotify playlist meets boutique publishing.
We partnered with major media brands like DIE ZEIT, handling everything from licensing to layout automation and on-demand printing.
The product found a niche with consumers, corporate clients, and cultural institutions, and was acquired in 2017 by a German publishing house modernizing its print strategy.
