Best Blogger — Austin Chronicle
Meet Koko
Howdy! I'm Jane — most people know me as Koko. I grew up in Port Lavaca, Texas before landing at UT Austin in 2007 with big dreams and a very small budget (yes, I scooped Dippin' Dots at football games for $8/hour to save up for my first camera).
I launched A Taste of Koko in 2010, went full-time in 2015, and haven't looked back since. Since then I've partnered with over 600 brands — from Target and IKEA to Whole Foods and Carnival Cruise Line — and been the face of Miami tourism for the New York Times.
Today I'm not just a content creator. I'm a startup advisor, angel investor in CPG, fintech, restaurants & hospitality, and a passionate coach for entrepreneurs who want to build their digital presence.
