Jankowski
is an independent journalist and editor whose work has appeared in The Globe and Mail, Maclean's, The Walrus, Toronto Star and Toronto Life, among other outlets. She reports on subjects that speak to larger trends, cultural shifts and generational anxieties, profiles compelling figures in the art, fashion and film industries, and covers events and exhibitions.
A former weekly columnist for StarMetro, she wrote about the Canadian retail landscape, consumer trends and business of fashion. Her fashion reporting is grounded in a decade of luxury retail sales experience. She is intimately acquainted with her readers as clients and consumers.
Nichole received her undergraduate degree in political science and history from McMaster University, where she worked as the photo, then senior news editor, for Canada's largest student paper, The Silhouette. She later studied journalism at the University of British Columbia, where she specialization in arts and culture reporting and took classes in art history.
As a freelance copywriter, she strives for clarity above all else. Personality and tone come second. She crafts concise, approachable and informed copy for clients in tech, cannabis, fashion and media. As a content producer, she specializes in offline production: printed material and experiential marketing. Working with studios and agencies, she often takes on a leadership role, dealing directly with clients and managing relationships, expectations and project workflow. She has a keen eye for detail, honed through years of newspaper production experience as well as a decade in luxury retail. Her news judgement and knowledge of contemporary culture empower her to produce relevant and durable solutions for clients.
Having lived and worked in cities across North America — including Toronto, Hamilton, New York, Vancouver and Montreal — one of her most valuable assets is the strength of her network.
