Tim Kavermann

Hi, I'm Tim Kavermann, the founder of Eat What You Kill (EWYK) and The Brave and The Wild (TBATW). I'm a brand strategist, designer, and photographer from Auckland, New Zealand. Throughout my journey, I've navigated the highs and lows of mental health and, in my 30s, discovered a passion for sourcing wild food, particularly through spearfishing—an ongoing challenge that continually pushes me outside my comfort zone. After years of building brands for others, I’m now channeling my experience and passion into EWYK and TBATW. By sharing my experiences and learnings, I hope to inspire and offer a space for others to openly embrace and share their own journeys.
