This week's guest is Nikki To - food photographer and co-founder of creative content studio, Buffet.

I met Nikki over a decade ago, right at the time she was beginning to make a real name for herself in Sydney’s food scene. Even then, her eye, talent and ability to capture a story through an image set her apart. Since then, she has become one of the most influential photographers in Australia’s food and drink industry. And through Buffet - the creative studio she co-founded with writer Sophie McComas - she’s helped shape the brands and narratives of some of the country’s most celebrated restaurants and bars.

Nikki and I launched our businesses within months of each other, and over the years we’ve shared many of the same highs, hurdles, and curveballs that come with building something from the ground up. Growing a business is one thing but sustaining a creative partnership requires trust, alignment and deep intention. I loved digging into how Nikki has built that with Soph and what she’s learned along the way.

We also became mothers around the same time, and in this conversation we talk about what that season unlocked - the shift in identity, the way ambition reshapes and the clarity it can bring. Nikki speaks with such care and intention about building a business that reflects her values and choosing growth on her own terms.

She’s thoughtful, considered and as talented as they come - and I loved every minute of this chat.
