Devin is a New York-based Style Editor for Homes & Gardens who is keen on all aspects of personal style. From a young age, she was drawn to the design world; from taking sewing classes in her hometown to flipping through the pages of her mother’s interior design magazines. Devin would spend hours on end watching HGTV home improvement and design programs and made sure to vocalize her opinions, as if the television could hear her. She has her parents to thank for her highly particular taste, as they ingrained in her the importance of both style and quality in everything.
After graduating from Villanova University with a BA in Communication and Spanish Language Studies, Devin moved to Paris, France, to pursue her Master’s Degree in Fashion Studies at Parsons. It was in Paris where Devin refined her love for style in every sense of the word. While she was there to research topics in fashion, living in Paris allowed Devin to fall in love with interior style. She grew fond of the city’s mix of both classic and contemporary designs that always felt intentional and personal. She considers herself lucky to have lived in such a beautiful city with sources of inspiration around every corner.
After moving back to the United States, Devin worked at titles including Cosmopolitan Magazine and Livingetc, which led her to her position at Homes & Gardens. She loves sharing design choices with her readers, from explaining how to incorporate trends into interior spaces to sourcing the best products for your home. Devin believes style should be inclusive, exciting, and at its core, fun.
