I am the Interior Design News Editor at Homes and Gardens, covering mainly US-based designers and trending news stories. My love for interiors began when I interned in an interior design studio, working on commercial and private spaces. My passion grew when working in production, where I sourced beautiful locations for photoshoots and campaigns. Outside work, I enjoy collecting antique and Mid-century furniture and quirky homewares for my new flat.
