Journalism and editing

I began my journalism career in my early twenties as an editorial assistant, replying to readers' letters, ordering stationery and making tea. Six years later, via a stint at the BBC, I became the inaugural interiors editor at Ideal Home, the UK's biggest selling home-interest title.

I'm the author of design-led nonfiction; I've written for websites and international magazines; worked as staff and freelance on many market-leading UK titles; commissioned other writers and edited their work. I review books, restaurants, travel destinations, and interview celebrities, homeowners, trailblazers and leaders in their fields, turning my research and these conversations into informative and compelling features.
