I am the Interior Design Content Editor at Homes & Gardens, and have been on the team since 2024. Writing about all things style and trend-related, from digging into the next color designers are adding to every project to the sofa shape the most stylish homeowners are investing in. Alongside trend reporting, I am always on the lookout for clever uses of space – small spaces and ingenious storage in particular. My own apartment is tight on square footage, so I know a thing or two about “stretching spaces” or leaning into bijoux proportions. My love for interiors began when I interned in an interior design studio, working on commercial projects as well as private spaces for a variety of clients. My passion grew while working in production, where I sourced beautiful locations for photoshoots and campaigns. A lover of character, I have an eye for anything pre-loved and historic, always collecting antiques and mid-century furniture for my Victorian home.
