Alec is a Junior Writer at Concrete Playground, working in the branded content team. He's also one of the few Sydney resident editors who lives north of the Harbour Bridge, proudly representing the northern beaches and north shore in writing whenever possible.

Favourite bar in Sydney: Mjølner in Redfern is probably my favourite spot, a fantastic menu and really experiential dining. I love taking people for the first time and seeing their reactions to the entire process, it never fails to entertain. Definitely get a cocktail and the chocolate bone brûlée for dessert.
