Aimee Rizzo
Senior Staff Writer, Seattle
Aimee is a born-and-raised New Yorker who traded the big city for evergreen trees and eternal caffeination when making the move to the PNW in 2014. She launched The Infatuation Seattle in 2017 as the city’s sole Staff Writer before transitioning to an editor four years later, then back to writing. Before joining the team, Aimee used her degree in screenwriting like any aspiring filmmaker would—by working in reality television. She has also penned food and wine words for Seattle Magazine, holds a certification in wines from the WSET, and is (technically) an award-winning actor. You can find her face-first in a cup of soft serve, popping the funkiest of pét-nats, or glued to the mic at karaoke night.
