In 2018, I’d been a stay-at-home mum for seven years. My youngest had just started Prep, and I was busting to get a part of me back, goals, drive, ambition, but with the flexibility for school runs and sports carnivals. The unicorn job, right?!
After months of searching, I stumbled across Lunchbox Mini for sale. With my love of cooking and years of lunchboxing ahead, it felt meant to be. So I fit the whole range into the boot of my car and off I went! (so naïve about what I’d signed up for).
Fast forward six years, and Lunchbox Mini has exceeded every expectation. From boxes stacked in my home to our very own warehouse and team, it’s been the most incredible ride.
Now, being able to open our warehouse doors and see firsthand the difference our products make is a dream come true, still a total pinch-me moment to this day.
Dani is the heart behind Lunchbox Mini’s brand! As our very first full-time hire back in 2022, she now leads all things brand and marketing, from the emails that land in your inbox to the viral TikToks and reals lighting up your feed. With her creative eye and design skills, Dani touches every corner of Lunchbox Mini and keeps the brand feeling fresh, fun, and full of heart.
When she’s not bringing big ideas to life, Dani loves a scary movie, a good book, pilates, and cozy rainy days plus plenty of cuddles with her fur child, Millie.
Her favourite Lunchbox Mini product? The Hydro Flask Drink Bottle - because nothing beats icy-cold water that lasts all day (and then some!).
Since joining the team in 2023, Carrie’s become the glue that holds all the things together. She heads up and oversees our packing team, is the friendly face at warehouse open days, and jumps in on social media stories and posts (usually with a camera in hand).
A mum to three teens, she also runs her own photography business specialising in maternity and motherhood. Long-time b.box lunchbox fan and now warehouse manager + marketing assistant rolled into one, Carrie’s the queen of juggling it all - with a smile.
Ash has been part of the Lunchbox Mini community for years, first as a customer, then as a friendly face in our Facebook group (always ready with helpful advice and next-level organisation tips).
A mum of three from regional Victoria, she’s the type who packs lunchesdays in advance (yes, we’re jealous). When a customer service opportunity came about, Ash was the obvious choice - she already knew our products inside out, and the work-from-home position suited her perfectly. Now she’s the one answering your emails and DMs with the same warmth and know-how she’s been sharing in the community all along.
Amy’s story with Lunchbox Mini started way before she joined the team - five years and 60+ orders ago, to be exact. From collecting her first lunchbox from Anna’s front doorstep to now packing them in our warehouse, she’s come full circle (with an epic personal lunchbox collection to prove it).
When she’s not picking and packing like a pro, Amy’s busy being a mum of two, teaching Zumba, helping out at school tuckshop, or hitting the floor as a Physie dance student alongside her daughter. Basically: if it involves rhythm, teamwork, or snacks, Amy’s all in.
Fresh out of school in 2024, Chloe is now diving into product design studies (future lunchbox inventor, maybe?!). Her family has been part of the Lunchbox Mini community for years, so joining the team was a natural fit.
Between her ever-growing personal lunchbox collection and the lovingly packed creations her mum sends with her to the warehouse, the rest of the team is constantly lunchbox-jealous.
Joining the team as lead picker and packer during our peak back to school season in 2022, Peta hit the ground running. She hasn't looked back since, and will often be found packing orders, unpacking stock or arranging our warehouse product displays.
Always on the go, Peta loves her MontiiCo Cooler Bag which keeps her snacks, lunches, cans of drink cool.
