Our Humble Beginnings

Hi! Andrea here! I’m the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Loose Leaf Magazine! I’m a 20 year old college student from San Juan, Puerto Rico. As well as an artist, writer, and fashion enthusiast. I am also AI’s number one hater. After seeing a similar publication, called Outside Berlin (they are a fashion publication based in NYC, I recommend you check them out) creating an AI-free magazine, I thought I would do something similar here in Saint Petersburg!

Our goal with this magazine is to help bring attention and publicity to local artists and authors in Saint Pete, helping to highlight the beauty of human creativity. Your lived experience is more valuable than ever in the age of AI. Artificial intelligence doesn’t know what it is to be alive, and it cannot replace artists.
