My Story

My journey began in editorial design and art direction, evolving into content marketing through purpose-driven storytelling. Fueled by my love for the outdoors and my passion for Let’s Explore Magazine, I aim to inspire change by sharing diverse perspectives. Through thoughtful narratives, I strive to create stories that not only captivate but also contribute to a more mindful and connected world.

My name is Kilian. I’m a trail runner, nature lover, and outdoor enthusiast with a passion for purpose-driven storytelling that inspires change.

 

Journey

I began as an editorial designer and art director before shifting to content- & online marketing, driven by my passion project, Let’s Explore Magazine. My goal is to amplify change through purpose-driven storytelling, exploring new perspectives and sharing diverse voices that inspire.

 

Priceless Time

I believe in the importance of the process. In taking time to do things well and to ensure lasting impact. Whether it’s long-distance running, spending time in nature, or baking a sensational loaf of sourdough bread; time allows me to fully engage with what I cherish. This deliberate approach helps me to inspire positive change, deepen my connection with what matters most and craft meaningful narratives.

 

Motto

I strive to live an inspired life with endless curiosity. By embracing the wisdom nature offers and taking the time needed for growth, I build a sustainable foundation both personally and professionally. Nature, like a well-crafted story, provides balance, nourishment, and inspiration.

 

Content Creation

I share my explorations on Instagram, by sharing a blend of images and videos with captions that focus on nature, outdoor adventures, and the beauty of exploring both literal and figurative landscapes. Focussing on finding inspiration and purpose through nature, adventure, and storytelling.

 

Curiosity Driven

Driven by curiosity, I titled my magazine Let’s Explore. Initially, the focus was on literal exploration, reflected in the travel content of the first two issues. However, Let’s Explore also represents figurative discovery—exploring a theme through various interpretations, both positive and negative. It embraces diverse storytellers, includes many voices, and promotes learning from them to gain new, inspiring knowledge.

 

Let’s Explore Magazine

The magazine reflects my vision of creating a publication without too many constraints. It evolved with each issue, alongside my growth as a storyteller, publisher, designer, and person.

I learned from the process and applied those lessons to future issues, while staying true to my intention: creating a meaningful, mindful publication that prioritizes quality stories and global collaboration. The process is as important as the final product. By approaching storytelling mindfully, I create stronger work, knowing there’s only one chance to make a first impression.
