About Swill

There’s nothing easy about Swill. Each cover is cut by hand and printed locally by our Art Director, Allie Webb. We work closely on both sides of the lens – both with our photographers to develop the stories they want to tell, and with writers from across the globe, from all walks of life. When it comes to ideas, we tend to go by gut instinct, which means rhyme, reason and sense are out the window before we’ve even started. Because of all that, what you get is something authentic. A celebration of creative freedom, originality and the beauty of self-expression. Embrace chaos, don’t fight it.

She co-authored the cookbook, Recipes for a Good Time; has appeared on Masterchef Australia; SBS The Cook Up; Netflix Chef’s Table and currently hosts her own show, What’s Good in the Hood.
