Coby Renkin
Melbourne Editor | Urban List
Coby is a culture-loving creative with a deep-rooted passion for lifestyle media that started when she first found herself holding a Total Girl Magazine somewhere around the year 2007. What began with the allure of a glossy cover and fun freebies turned into an appreciation for great storytelling, countless hours spent soaking up the words of her favourite writers, and eventually a career in media and publishing.
As Urban List's Melbourne Editor, Coby combines her flair for editorial with her genuine love for her city and the incredible people and places that make it so special.
When she's not reading, writing or scrolling, you'll find Coby spending time with her nearest and dearest, dropping more than she should on a coffee or a wine, or finding the best new spots for a gluten free feed (she also lives the coeliac life).
