about the editors
We’re two Oahu-based creatives who came together to share stories of Hawaii’s people, places and things. Today, more than ever, we feel it’s necessary to show unwavering support of the islands’ local businesses. Read our bios below and let’s work together!
Jasmine Chagnon
Jasmine is an Oahu-based copywriter and lifestyle editor. She landed in Honolulu by way of New York City to serve as the Editor in Chief of the world’s largest open-air shopping center’s magazine, a position she held for nearly eight years. In 2014, she launched TheEditHawaii.com to highlight the people, places and products of the islands, but eventually turned the site into a personal one to showcase her work. In 2020, she decided to relaunch The Edit Hawaii to serve as a platform for Hawaii’s creative community. View her resume and check out select published articles here.
IJfke Ridgley
IJfke Ridgley is first and foremost a traveler, but growing up in Hawaii means that Oahu will always be home. She’s a fashion and travel photographer and writer who has contributed to various local and international publications and campaigns. When she’s not on the island, IJfke is trying her best to live a digital nomad life, and in the last two decades she’s called New York, Holland, Argentina, Spain, Bali, Curacao, and Oman home. Living abroad has taught her what is special and sacred about Hawaii, which is what she hopes to showcase via The Edit.
You can see her portfolio here, and, for those of you wondering, it's a Dutch name pronounced "eye-f-kuh."
