Meet the Team
Meet the team behind one of the most chaotic cosplay and pop culture magazines Australia and New Zealand has to offer. While the team may be small, they are each mighty in their own ways.
Meet Remi
Remi is the Editor-in-Chief and creative force behind Colin Magazine. Since launching the publication in 2019, she has spent her days turning ambitious ideas into reality, steering the ship through big decisions, unexpected challenges, and the occasional bout of organised chaos.
Driven by a love of pop culture, creativity, and the communities that form around them, Remi created Colin as a space where creators, cosplayers, collectors, artists, and other wonderfully strange people could feel seen, inspired, and connected.
When she's not plotting the next issue, you'll probably find her chasing a new hyperfixation, attending events, or quietly working on something she isn't ready to talk about yet.
Meet Jacinta
Known online as Hyacinthcos, Jacinta is a lifelong pop culture enthusiast with a passion for beauty, skincare, and discovering her next obsession. Equal parts collector, and adventurer, she's always searching for the stories, experiences, and fandoms worth sharing.
As one of Colin Magazine's contributors, Jacinta brings curiosity, energy, and an infectious sense of fun to everything she does. Whether she's exploring a new event, tackling a creative challenge, or testing something completely outside her comfort zone, she rarely says no to an adventure.
Wherever there's excitement, a little bit of chaos, and a good story waiting to happen, chances are Jacinta isn't far behind.
Meet Madi
Madi, better known as Kittenspike, is one of Colin Magazine's resident makers, crafters, and enthusiastic creative problem-solvers. What began as a love of cosplay in 2014 quickly grew into a passion for sewing, prop making, costume alterations, DIY projects, and learning just about any creative skill she can get her hands on.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, Madi loves turning ambitious ideas into reality, whether it's building a prop, tackling a new craft, or experimenting with techniques she's never tried before. She also enjoys documenting the process, sharing the successes, mishaps, and lessons learned along the way.
For Madi, the best part of any hobby is the opportunity to learn something new, and then immediately find another project to put those skills to use.
Meet Susan
Suzy, known online as suzucosplay_, leads Colin Magazine's Japan team, bringing a unique perspective on life, creativity, and pop culture from abroad. Currently based in Japan, she spends her time exploring local events, uncovering emerging trends, and sharing the experiences that make living overseas so rewarding.
With a love for fashion, aesthetics, and vibes, Suzy is fascinated by the details that transform an idea into something memorable. From carefully curated outfits to ambitious costume builds, she's always looking for new ways to elevate a concept and push her creativity further.
Equal parts explorer and aesthetic icon, Suzy believes the best stories are often found off the usual path, and she's always searching for the next one.
Meet Bella
Resident fashion icon Bella, known online as Psychi.bun, covers fashion, lifestyle, and culture through a distinctly creative lens. Soon to be based in Japan, she explores the intersection of everyday life and style, documenting the details that shape subcultural identity.
With a strong background in fashion and chaotic cosplay builds, Bella has a talent for conceptual styling and an instinct for playful experimentation. Her work moves across a wide range of aesthetics, from soft, romantic Lolita to the bold nostalgia of early 2000s cybercore fashion, always anchored by a clear and intentional creative point of view.
As her focus expands beyond fashion alone, Bella brings a grounded yet expressive perspective to life in Japan, capturing not just what people wear, but how style lives within the rhythm of culture, music and place.
Meet Luka
Luka, known online as Heartseeed, is Colin Magazine’s photographer, videographer, and resident anime expert. Behind the lens, he captures the energy, emotion, and atmosphere that define Colin’s visual identity, turning fleeting moments into stories with depth and impact.
With a deep appreciation for anime and visual storytelling, Luka brings a cinematic eye to everything he shoots. Whether he’s documenting events, crafting video edits, or chasing the perfect shot in fast-moving chaos, he has a talent for finding beauty in both the planned and the unexpected.
