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, sunrise walks and cheese platters. She's not a fan of winter or high heels, though (Docs forever).

Elle spends her time curating the frankie website, building the weekly newsletter and running our ace small-business vertical, Strictly Business. When she’s not busy writing up rad stories, filming TikToks and helping out our editor, you’ll find Elle hanging out with her cat Joey and playing The Sims. Don’t bother offering her a cup of black coffee and a hot jam doughnut, though – she couldn’t think of anything worse.

Caitlyn is a design whiz who also flexes her illustration and animation skills for all kinds of frankie projects. (Although you may recognise her as the star of our TikToks and Reels!) The most organised member of the frankie team, Caitlyn is also a pro when it comes to liaising with rad creatives, finding the best products and props for our shoots, and helping our creative director frankie-fy special campaigns. A few of her favourite things include daydreaming, country towns and watching ‘how it’s made’ videos. She tries her best to avoid fruit salad and pesky groups who take up the whole footpath.

Iris is frankie’s resident marketing pro. When she’s not planning events and organising all kinds of important bits and bobs for the mag, you’ll likely find her pottering around the garden or playing Stardew Valley. You certainly won’t find her on a packed tram or sipping on bad coffee, though – she couldn’t think of anything more unpleasant.

Kelsey’s a marketing ninja who looks after frankie's social media. More impressive Kelsey facts: she’s a fearsome hiker who tackles 100km trails, she can recite every lyric from ABBA’s Super Trouper. In case you were wondering, her pet hates are phones at the dinner table and spicy food.

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.
