About Jenny
I’m Jenny – the person behind The Upcycologist, someone who genuinely cannot walk past an op shop without going in.
I write about travel through Aotearoa and beyond, share op shop guides for fellow secondhand hunters, and document the upcycling projects that come out of all that treasure finding. I’m also an artist – my word art prints capture New Zealand towns through photography, turning the places I love to explore into something you can hang on your wall.
Based in North Waikato, close to Auckland I’ve spent years hunting secondhand treasures, exploring hidden NZ towns, thrifting and traveling overseas.
If you’re the kind of person who finds magic in the overlooked and ordinary, you’re in the right place.
