1. PB-AUTH-001 xaymacæ Founder & Editor

   Xaymacæ is a public relations and brand strategist working across fashion, diplomacy, and the creative economy. He is completing an M.A. in Public Relations and Advertising at USC’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, with a focus on public diplomacy, and volunteers at the USC Center on Public Diplomacy.

   Before graduate school he worked in fashion and media in Jamaica, South Africa, and the United States, including as Digital Media Manager for the Cape Town Fashion Council. He holds a B.A. in Diplomacy and World Affairs from Occidental College and lives in Los Angeles.
