Gabriella is a contributor for Homes & Gardens. She is a DIY enthusiast and a lover of all things interior design, often found antiquing or browsing the aisles of her local hardware store.
She has a particular passion for historic buildings and is in the process of renovating a Victorian coachhouse in the British countryside. Gabriella studied Modern History at The University of Oxford before pursuing a career in journalism. She attributes her fascination with architecture and design to the 'dreaming spires' of Oxford; though she’s equally enamored by the distinctive style of New England homes.

She served as the Content Manager for the ethical homeware brand Nkuku, assisting in shaping its tone of voice on its journey to securing B-Corp status. Most recently, she is the former Head of Solved at Homes & Gardens, focusing on practical content for the website, as well as writing features about issues surrounding historic and listed building projects for Homebuilding & Renovating.
