As editor, Shannon's job mainly consists of coming up with ideas, vaguely bossing people around and making big decisions, as well as writing, interviewing, sourcing content, chatting with cool creative folk and proofing the mag. (Plus lots of other frankie-related bits.) Shannon loves nothing more than loud bands, cheese platters and crime novels. The cold weather, however, makes her a little bit grumpy. 

Kate is a creative whiz who makes all manner of things look nice for frankie, from the pages of the mag to our special projects. On top of that, she's busy organising and directing all things visual across the design, marketing and online teams. If she’s not at her desk (or out on photoshoots), she’s most likely drawing, dog-spotting, or having an enthusiastic chat about pop culture. But you certainly won’t find her eating pouch yoghurt (yucky texture) or cleaning with Ajax Spray n’ Wipe Lemon Citrus (yucky scent).

Claire spends much of her time reliving her childhood with her own little’uns: gliding around on pearly blue roller skates, camping out under the stars and scoffing chocolate by the fistful. You’ll also catch her looking after ad clients from overseas and all around Australia. Where you won't find her is in a car (she much prefers her bike) or sitting back to read some poetry.

Aside from her encyclopedic knowledge of local birds, Emily brings bucketloads of clever ideas to frankie press in her role as branded content director. Out of the office, she can often be found hoarding snacks and admiring senior greyhounds, usually while donning some super-cute threads. Don’t bother serving her red onion in a salad, and definitely don't munch on an apple when you're next to her – the sound drives her up the wall.

Lizzie has her fingers in a whole bunch of pies (and she’s across all kinds of things in the office, too – badum-tish!). She's our production guru who keeps everyone on track while helping out with marketing, advertising and design. Ask her what she’s into and she’ll say jazz, savoury snacks and being outdoors – cold weather, her alarm clock and loose bike chains, on the other hand, are not what she's about.

As designer, Eliza gets to flex her skills in illustration, asset creation and motion graphic design for all kinds of frankie projects. She’s a pro when it comes to whipping up pretty images for our online platforms and newsletters, finding the best products and props for our shoots, and helping our art director frankie-fy special campaigns. She’s also a pro at participating in board game nights, baking bread, and preventing water from entering her shoes (soggy socks make her cringe).

Juliette spends her precious time (she’s super-organised!) curating the frankie website, building the weekly newsletter and running our ace small-business vertical, Strictly Business. When she’s not writing up rad stories, interviewing musos and helping out our editor, you’ll find Jules hanging out with her housemate’s cat, sitting in a cinema or attending a gig. She may love live music, but don’t be fooled – distracting background noise is her enemy.

Mia is frankie’s resident marketing and social media pro. When she’s not filming and editing content for our socials, she’s busy planning campaigns, organising bits and bobs for the mag, and looking after our lovely subscribers. In her spare time, you’ll likely find Mia watching spooky movies and dancing to K-pop, but you’ll never catch her eating nutty chocolate – she reckons that’s almost worse than people who forget to turn off their high-beam headlights.
