As CTC&G marks its 20th anniversary in 2024, it’s not just a milestone for the magazine, but also a celebration of the vision and dedication of its editorial director, DJ Carey—the founding editor and the guiding force behind the magazine’s two decades of success, showcasing the pinnacle of design.
From its inception, CTC&G stood out not only for its grand physical size, but also for its commitment to avant-garde luxury design. The inaugural issue set a high bar that has been consistently met over the years. DJ Carey’s leadership has been instrumental in maintaining this standard, ensuring that the magazine remains a beacon of excellence in the design world.
Her keen eye for design has brought the finest designers from around the globe into the homes and hearts of readers in Connecticut. By partnering with the world’s most talented photographers, CTC&G has consistently presented projects that dazzle and inspire. What makes this feat even more remarkable is our commitment to exclusivity—featuring projects that have never been seen in print before. CTC&G has been the recipient of multiple awards, a testament to the magazine’s influence and standing in the world of luxury design.
As we celebrate these twin milestones, it’s evident that DJ’s vision has not just shaped CTC&G but has also significantly influenced the landscape of design publishing. The magazine’s journey mirrors her own—a path marked by innovation, dedication and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Looking back over 20 years, it’s clear that the same qualities that made the first issue of CTC&G remarkable continue to define it today. Here’s to 20 years of exceptional design, and to many more under the leadership of a true pioneer and well-respected colleague in the world of design publishing.
