Zara Kernan

Editor-in-Chief

Zara is a tea enthusiast, Twilight apologist and book lover. She’s in her final year of studying a Bachelor of Media and Communication with a major in Professional Writing and Editing and has been a sub-editor of swine since 2022. When she’s not writing stories, reading or working (as a copywriter) she can be found relaxing with some yoga. She’s looking forward to editing all your wonderful work this year!

 

Sophie Robertson

 Head Designer

Sophie (she/her) is a designer by day and still a designer by night. She also happens to be the current designer of swine magazine. She is currently undertaking a Bachelor of Communication Design (Honours). You’ll find her trying to justify buying a too-expensive-but-oh-so-pretty design book, or getting an equally pricey almond croissant. Sophie gravitates towards storytelling that emotionally strikes her in the heart.
