Martha was a Content Editor on the Gardens team, where she combined her passion for lifestyle journalism with a love of beautiful living, thoughtful interiors, and outdoor spaces.
Her career in media began unusually early – at just 15 years old, she secured an internship at Time Out Dubai, sparking a lasting interest in editorial storytelling and lifestyle writing. She later went on to study English and German at Oxford before moving into property and interior design journalism at Country & Town House magazine, where she covered homes, design, and style.
Martha’s approach to living beautifully is rooted in warmth, personality, and creativity. She believes a well-lived home is one filled with good food, meaningful details, and plenty of colorful decor that reflects the people who live there.
