About

Kelley Sheenan is the founder, editor-in-chief and designer of Peppermint Magazine. A former graphic and fashion designer from New Zealand, Kelley became passionate about the environmental and ethical issues in the fashion industry and beyond, which sparked her drive to combine her skills in fashion, graphics and photography to create a platform to educate and inspire. Launched in 2008 from Kelley’s lounge room in Brisbane, and backed by tunnel vision and sleepless nights, Peppermint is now an award-winning print magazine distributed in Australia and 18 countries, showcasing sustainability, style and substance. Winning ‘Consumer Magazine of the Year’ in 2015 (in the under 20,000 category), Kelley has worked relentlessly to evolve Peppermint from its original roots as a sustainable fashion magazine to a shining example of positive, empowering media with purpose, featuring topics ranging from kindness and self-love to slow living and waste reduction.
