Founder & Editor-in-Chief

Afsaneh Angelina Rafii

Afsaneh has been actively working in the magazine world since 2005. She served as both the editor of nico magazine and associate publisher of Twin magazine, and has passionately written about the creative industries since then. In 2018 she decided to launch Icarus Complex and fill a gap in the market: there is increasing talk across many media platforms about various parts of the climate issue, but there is no dedicated publication that gathers all of this discourse within one umbrella while targeting a mainstream audience.
