The people, creators and voices behind NoodleMagazine
NoodleMagazine is built by people who love magazines — from the editorial minds shaping our stories to the creators, writers, models, photographers and contributors who bring each feature to life.
Our team is growing, and so is the creative network behind NoodleMagazine.
Rather than being a traditional newsroom with a fixed list of staff, we work with a mix of editorial leaders, publishing professionals, writers, fashion personalities, models, photographers and creative contributors.
Together, they bring different experiences, perspectives and creative styles to NoodleMagazine.

Our Editorial Approach
Real People. Real Experience. Real Perspectives.
NoodleMagazine is moving toward a more transparent and personality-driven editorial model.
That means we want readers to know who is behind the stories and creative work they see.
We believe contributors should be represented accurately, and professional backgrounds should be based on information that can be verified or supplied directly by the contributor.
Our team pages and contributor profiles will therefore continue to evolve as we build relationships with more writers, creators, photographers, models and industry professionals.
For health or other specialist subjects where professional expertise is necessary, we will identify appropriate qualified contributors or reviewers rather than assigning unsupported credentials.
