The magazine I wished existed when I started building my business.
High Flying Design is an independent business and lifestyle magazine for female high-flyers — women building something meaningful, growing at their own pace, and refusing to measure success by someone else's definition of it. Honest founder stories, grounded business thinking, and the kind of perspective that cuts through the noise. No income claims, no overnight success myths, no hustle culture.
Read by 2,900 female high-flyers every month · Ranked #8 in FeedSpot's Top 50 Women's Magazines, 2025 & 2026
WHAT'S INSIDE
WHAT'S INSIDE
Business
Strategy for founders building lean, without the jargon or the growth-at-all-costs mentality.
Mindset
The internal side of building — staying clear-headed, trusting yourself, and knowing when to slow down.
Lifestyle
Because you're building a life, not just a business. And the two are impossible to separate.
Founder Stories: The conversations at the heart of this magazine.
When I started High Flying Design, I wanted to talk to women who were actually in it — not the polished version of the story you see on Instagram, but the real one. The pivots, the self-doubt, the small decisions that turned out to matter enormously. These interviews are long, honest and unglamorous in the best possible way.
