Founder - Head of Content

Queenie Sue Bajenting Pantinople, or Quinn, is a copywriter for global brands for over a decade, a DIY apostle since preschool, and a certified wedding enthusiast since forever. She loves breakfast food but not during breakfast time (she loves sleeping more), the beach (though she never has the time to go to one anymore), and her not-so baby boy (who's the reason why she so desperately loves sleeping and why she can never have a beach getaway anymore). Quinn's DIY wedding was featured in Australia's Modern Wedding.
