Sarah Dubbeldam | Founder, Editor-in-Chief, Creative Director

Who she is: I am responsible for steering the ship of Darling, for casting the overall vision for each article and photo shoot and making sure all is delegated and executed to the proper departments. I am blessed beyond measure by a staff of women that define “Darling” in every sense of the word. I find my inspiration through people’s stories–the way they wear their hearts on their sleeves and exude passion through their eyes–each displaying a unique beauty that is theirs alone. When I’m not in full-force-Darling-mode (which is often), I’m at home in my hammock reading literature usually from the era of Jane Austen, playing with my two tuxedo cats or adventuring with my husband into the woods.

In one sentence, Darling is: a force of good with arms wide open, pulling women close into one deliberate hug and saying: “Hey, let’s rest here awhile and talk about how wonderful you are.”

Contentment is: thankfulness in everything, even the mundane.

Nicole Ziza Bauer | Online Managing Editor

Who she is: I curate all of our web-related content: writers, articles, collaborations and more, seeking to create an online space for the Darling reader to pause, reflect, and remember what’s important for day-to-day life. When not behind a computer, you can find me trying to learn Italian, reading in my backyard, or plotting ways to rescue every dog from the pound.

In one sentence, Darling is: that link to the good and true, creating a space to wander and still find worth in the journey.

Contentment is: remembering it’s all a gift.

Rebekah Shannon | Photo Editor

Who she is: I’m responsible for all of the photo-shoots that Darling produces. I hire photographers, models, hair and makeup teams, etc. When not working (though I love it), I enjoy kittens, babies, cupcakes and wine.

In one sentence, Darling is: a tool to change how women see themselves and help women to live with grace, kindness, style and a desire to grow.

Contentment is: knowing who you are and loving those around you out of peace and confidence.

 Natalie Hemmati | Fashion Editor

Who she is: I hail from the great white north and I have a deep and ever growing love for fashion, the art of styling, and creation in general. At Darling, I have the honor of providing the fashion direction for each issue and also style a few of the editorials. When not on set, you can find me hiking through California’s undiscovered territory or peddling ocean side. My zest for life and inherit curiosity, have instilled in me a lust for wanting more and leaving no stone unturned.

In one sentence, Darling is: the offspring of truth and beauty.

Contentment is: knowing that your past decisions have brought you to THIS present moment, while constantly drowning in excitement for tomorrow’s promise.

Kyle Wood | Director of Media Relations

Who she is: I was born and raised at the beach in Southern California and currently work at Darling Magazine managing PR, sales, and working as the assistant to editor-in-chief. I balance my career with a love for writing, travel, the water, and just about anything I can do in the sun.

In one sentence, Darling is: the eye of the storm.

Contentment is: wandering the streets on my favorite island in Greece.
