Tamsen McDonough
Special Projects

This former tomboy turned model/actress, first discovered her “passion for style” while studying Media Communications at SFU in Vancouver, British Columbia. Tamsen began modelling part-time to support her penchant for good food - which didn’t quite seem to fall in line with some of the more common university staples - ramen noodles, beer and gum.

Coincidentally, it was modelling that drew her to the exciting, ever-evolving world of magazines. Eventually securing an internship at Elle Canada in Toronto, she honed her organizational and creative skills in their well-established fashion editorial departments.

Following a stint at a niche publication as a lifestyles editor, she joined VIE Magazine, where we’re sure to see her many talents shine as our Special Projects Coordinator.
