Ayden & James – Hospitality-Born, Swan Valley Raised

James and Ayden, the founders of Gumnut Media Co., have been partners in the hospitality industry since 2021, sharing a profound connection to modern Australian cuisine and a passion for creating thoughtful food and drink pairings. Their combined experience and dedication to the art of hospitality inspired the establishment of Gumnut Media Co., a creative agency specializing in photography and videography to narrate the stories of local brands and the passionate individuals behind them.

Before founding Gumnut Media Co., James served as a head chef, while Ayden excelled as a bar manager. Their collaboration was forged through a mutual love for designing menus, curating unique customer experiences, and supporting local producers. This partnership blends rustic, modern Australian cuisine with the distinct flavors of the Swan Valley, crafting dining experiences that embody the essence of this picturesque region.

The Spark in Your Business

The challenges presented by the COVID-19 lock downs underscored the significance of storytelling in the success of hospitality brands. Recognizing that many crucial stories remain untold, James and Ayden are devoted to amplifying the voices of the people and businesses that make the Swan Valley a dynamic and distinctive destination.

Gumnut Media Co. has proudly collaborated with esteemed partners such as Giniversity, Olive Farm, and Nachtmann the Lifestyle Division of Riedel Glassware.
