Dawn Blackmore
Founder
Dawn Blackmore is a professional chef living in Surrey, having gained a Gold Culinary Arts Diploma from the prestigious WhitePepper Chef Academy in Dorset. Dawn has also worked at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital as a senior healthcare assistant, caring for many patients undergoing life-changing surgery. Her passion to help others, combined with her culinary knowledge, has led her to launch The Good Bowel Company. Her first journal, The Ostomate Journal, is dedicated to all the patients — and fellow healthcare providers — who have left a mark on her over the years.
Sophie Smith
Illustrator
Sophie Smith is a freelance illustrator living in Devon, after a period in Southampton for university. Usually working from her kitchen table, listening to her favourite playlist, and never far from her two labradors, Sophie’s work explores highly decorative processes with a vast array of three and two-dimensional canvases and objects. From sculpting to painting, textile art to typography, she loves to hide special details in her art and draws from personal experience to produce work that unites people through wider shared experiences and nostalgia.
Jessica Evans
Designer
Jessica Evans is a graphic and digital designer with extensive experience across branding, digital and print, currently based in Western Australia. From Metropolitan by Eurostar magazine to The Good Bowel Company, Jessica crafts visuals both strategic and full of personality, blending a love of colour and thoughtful detail to help brands tell their story. Since moving from London, Jessica has thrown herself into Australia’s coastal lifestyle, splitting her time between creative projects and exploring the great Down Under.
Emma Blackmore
Editor
Emma Blackmore is a journalist and commissioning editor with a sharp visual eye and a particular flair for interview profiles. Experienced in delivering multi-media campaigns in fast-paced environments, her work spans travel, lifestyle, luxury, photography and social justice. She has written for a range of magazines, from British Airways’ High Life and Unfold by Mandarin Oriental, to Nikon magazine, The Big Issue, and The Bristol Cable. She is the editor of Dorchester Legends. When she’s not behind her laptop, you’ll find her becoming overfamiliar with London’s best cocktail bars or kayaking the Thames (though, thankfully, not at the same time).
