Reporting From the Field

Jenise’s work is rooted in being there.

Her Mixyplix coverage has taken her into Seattle restaurants and kitchens, onto event spaces and festival grounds, aboard culinary experiences, into galleries and museums, and to cultural events throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Her stories often focus on the people behind the experience—chefs, restaurateurs, artists, musicians, filmmakers, performers, organizers, and entrepreneurs.

That firsthand perspective is central to her approach: experience it, photograph it, talk to the people making it happen, and tell readers why it matters.

About Mixyplix

Mixyplix is an independent Seattle-based publication founded in 2017 by Michael Nank.

The publication covers arts, culture, music, film, theater, food, travel, photography, and the experiences that make a city worth exploring.

For Jenise, that mission aligns closely with her own approach to storytelling: get out into the world, meet the people creating something interesting, and give readers a reason to discover it for themselves.
