Experience

Kylie is a writer, content creator, and photographer with a passion for exploring life's everyday comforts. Food and drink are two of her greatest joys, offering both pleasure and meaningful experiences.

Her love for the Pittsburgh area kept her local, and she now works as the Senior Online Editor at TABLE Magazine, covering food and lifestyle. She also runs her own photography business, Photos by Ky, which has captured moments and cocktails since 2015. In June 2025, Kylie joined Static Media as a Food News Writer for The Takeout.
