Connection to self.
Connection to each other.
Connection to community.

Kate Love
owner & managing Editor
Kate Love grew up in the Byron hinterland on a 100-acre macadamia and rainforest farm. Born in Papua New Guinea, she has lived and worked as a journalist around the world, from Africa and Europe to South East Asia, and has supported charitable organisations through voluntary work across the South Pacific through media and communications projects in Vanuatu and Fiji.
Her work is driven by a passion for storytelling that shines a light on humanitarian, environmental and community issues, often uncovering the stories of everyday people creating positive change. Inspired by the Byron values of sustainability, creativity and innovation, she founded Byron Magazine in 2018 to share stories that inform, inspire and connect audiences locally and globally.
Kate believes in the power of storytelling to build understanding, spark curiosity and create a more compassionate world. Now living back home in the beautiful Byron Shire, she enjoys surfing, farmers markets, adventure camping, waterfall swimming, beach walking with her groodle Honey, volunteering for local charities and contributing to the vibrant community she loves.
