Freelance writer, editor and design consultant.

Profile

Freelance writer and editor, with a focus on design, decoration and travel. After working for several years in finance, I earned a masters at Sotheby’s Institute in London, studying fine and decorative arts. I currently spend time in New York, Milan and Tangier finding stories to write about. Cooking, gardening and architecture are very important parts of my life.

Work

As an editor I work with clients to bring their words to life. Through a process of interviews or collaborative writing I help get to the meat of the story. I have edited recipes, short stories, interviews and articles. The stories I write are typically about interiors, decoration, architecture, food, gardens and travel.

Design

In addition to writing and editing I work with several designers and creators to help hone their image and am a stylist. My clients make furniture, textiles and clothing.
