Our Team at Mink Potential
Director: Monica Kade
Monica Kade is a multi-tasker. She is the publisher of Mink Magazine and is half way through her Bachelor of Human Resource Management at Macquarie University. Monica is also an actor, having recently completed her first feature film which will be played in 200 independent cinemas across Australia. Monica is looking forward to her roles in future projects.
Tired of reading the constant celebrity rumors in gossip magazines, Monica decided to create a magazine that was fresh, exciting and one that showcased and supported up and coming talent. Monica has a passion for providing people with a platform to express their creativity and unique nature, and because of this passion, Mink Potential, and Mink Magazine, were born.
Monica's aim is to not only satisfy the hunger for individuality (for herself and others), but assist others in opening up avenues for their lives and careers. Mink is mecca for emerging artists.
Monica's favourite treat is a HUGE, mug of peppermint tea or black coffee (depending on the stress level and a mango!
Artistic Director: Tristan Velasco

Editor: Sandi Tighello
Tighello is a 23 year old freelance writer based in Melbourne. Through her blog, misssandi.wordpress.com and various other publications, she delivers witty, daring, original and different articles, thoughts, musings, opinions and reviews on all things fashion, beauty, culture, life and entertainment. She is a graduate of Melbourne University with a Bachelors Degree in Cultural Studies and Cinema Studies.
Sandi loves coffee, wine, photography, reading and her family and friends. She is clumsy, honest and has bursts of momentary madness. She plans to remain blissfully happy, unconventional, in love, rebellious and passionate for her entire life.
Online Content Manager: Eden Abagi
Armed with her GHD and ‘The Bombshell Manual of Style’, Eden Abagi can just about tackle anything. With a love of design and a flare for fonts, Eden is a natural in the magazine industry, and currently funds her fashion addiction as a promotions designer in advertising for ACP Magazines.
Eden completed a BA in Fine Arts (majoring in painting) and is half way through her Masters in Design (majoring in graphics) at COFA.
A lover of vodka, expensive shoes, dancing, and live music, Eden is hugely excited to be a part of Mink’s creative vision.
Eden lives in Enmore with her fabulous housemates, and will one day finish the two-metre high canvass painting tucked behind her wardrobe.
Writer: Tracey Lien
Tracey Lien lives in a sub-terrainian curvature (read: hole). When she was sixteen, she launched a bi-monthly underground newsletter titled "The Cheese", which aimed to educate her peers about American politics. Unfortunately, no one from her school cared about politics, let alone that of the American kind. After two issues, it flopped. She is now at university and will be stuck there for the next five years. The highlight of her life was entering the Archibald Prize when she was fifteen... oh, and being in the studio audience of The Chaser's War on Everything. She once shook Bob Carr's hand.
International Music Writer: Sasha Reid
I live in London, England and have spent the past few years in the music industry working with signed and unsigned bands/artists. I brought the band Kasabian down from Leicester to London and worked with them until they got a record deal. I write cd reviews for a UK magazine. This year I spent six weeks in America (including a trip to SXSW in Austin, Texas) so I got a good chance to see the new up and coming bands. I am also writing a children’s storybook, which I hope to get published.
