Writer Tahni Mesann Senior Content Producer

Senior content producer Tahni Mesann has been obsessed with interior design and writing stories online since the moment she set up her first WordPress blog during The Block ad breaks as a teenager. She pursued these passions first into formal education (graduating from The University of Sydney with a BA in Media and Communications) and then into her career as an interiors journalist, where she has contributed to the digital arm of almost every homes title in the country, including Home Beautiful, Better Homes & Gardens, Country Style, Australian House & Garden, Belle, Inside Out, Homes to Love and more. As a freelancer, she’s produced commercial content, managed small business social media accounts and written for Qantas Travel Insider. When Tahni isn’t interviewing ex-Block contestants or writing up a celebrity home tour, you can find her hunting for things she’ll never buy on Facebook Marketplace, testing out cleaning hacks or listening to a record on a 70s-era turntable restored by her dad.
