Behind the Brand

Hi, I’m Jess, founder and editor of The Nook.

As a writer for some of New Zealand’s most respected magazines, I have a deep passion for storytelling and crafting narratives that resonate with my audience. I’m an avid traveler and foodie, and am constantly exploring every corner for culinary delights, meaningful connections and cultural experiences that inform my writing.

I enjoy connecting with people and brands to help articulate their unique stories, and in doing so, I aim to inspire others through content that celebrates both extraordinary experiences and the beauty in everyday moments.
