About Us
How It All
Came to the Table
Bramble Mill is a food and lifestyle journal shaped by story, flavor, and the people who inspire it most. Our name comes from our daughters—Briar, wild and sweet, and Millie, fun and endlessly creative. Their helpful hands and wildhearted wonder sparked this space into being. Our son Riley, the oldest, lends his soulful spark and trusted taste-testing skills, and whether I like it or not, I’ll always get his honest opinion, so every recipe here carries his seal of approval.
This digital journal is, in so many ways, a love letter to them. To the meals that gather us, to the small rituals that anchor us, and to the joy that cooking brings into our everyday.
What began as a quiet craving for beauty and slowness has become something much more. After nearly a decade spent in the design world—shaping brands, refining visuals, and telling other people’s stories—Bramble Mill is where I come home to my own. Food has always been my creative escape: tactile, intuitive, and entirely my own. It’s where I can shape with my hands what I feel in my heart, then share it as a kind of love language with my kids, my husband, and now, with you.
At Bramble Mill, each recipe is layered with memory and meaning. It’s golden loaves inspired by my son, sweet moments stirred together with little helpers, flavors sparked by travel, and kitchen experiments that carry both curiosity and care. This isn’t just a food journal. It’s a reflection of our life—messy, warm, full of texture, and made with so much care.
Your Maker
Just Me, and a Whole Lot of Butter
I’m Courtney Null—founder of Bramble Mill, recipe developer, and creative.
My love for food didn’t come from childhood kitchens or handed-down recipes. It began in my early twenties, when I was in school, broke, and figuring out who I was and how to feed myself. I’d never really been taught to cook, but I found joy in stretching what little I had—meal planning, experimenting, and discovering how ingredients could be transformed with a little creativity.
That spark grew into something deeper when I met my husband and son. At first, cooking was a love language, a way to impress. But soon it became an obsession: my cabinets filled with cookbooks, and I spent hours rotating, testing, and refining recipes for my growing family. My curiosity spilled into new techniques I never thought my messy brain could master, and I discovered my true passion: recipe development.
