About

I’m an editor and editorial consultant exploring how design and the places around us shape the way we live and feel. My work brings together editorial, storytelling and more than two decades of experience in the design industry.

Work With Me

A Design Career Rooted in Practice

I began drawing homes at nine years old, long before I had the language for what I sensed instinctively: that space has a profound impact on how we feel and behave. While studying interior design, I was drawn to the psychological side of environments – the human experience of space – a curiosity that has shaped my work ever since.

After graduating, I was accepted to study Architecture in London – an ambition that has continued to inform how I think about the built environment. My career took me into interior design, where I developed a deep understanding of how spaces are planned, detailed and delivered.

My early career spanned residential and commercial interior design and design management in London and Amsterdam, delivering projects for brands including Burberry, Harrods, Selfridges and Bloomingdale’s, alongside commercial clients including Barclays and UCL.

Wellbeing in Space

In 2017, I began exploring the relationship between our environments and our health more deeply. I became a WELL Accredited Professional (WELL AP) in 2019, studied health and nutrition with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York and completed Mental Health First Aid training.

This work expanded my thinking beyond interiors alone to the wider influences on how we live and feel – from our homes and workplaces to nature, community and the places around us.

Having lived across Canada, Australia, the UK and the Netherlands, with time spent in Italy, my perspective has also been shaped by different cultures and ways of living, and by the relationship between people and place.

Designers Mind

I founded Designers Mind to support better mental health and wellbeing within the design industry. What began as a response to my own experience of the industry grew into a platform for sharing stories, opening conversations and exploring how the culture of design practice could change.

My work with Designers Mind was recognised with a leadership award and also became an unexpected bridge between my design career and editorial.

Editorial Leadership

I went on to become Editor of OnOffice, where I led editorial exploring workplace, architecture and design, including producing a dedicated wellbeing print issue.

Most recently, as Editor & Brand Director at WLLW, I led editorial direction and storytelling around the relationship between our homes, health and wellbeing.

Alongside my editorial leadership roles, I write about architecture, interiors and design, and have spoken and moderated conversations for brands including Vitra, Arper, Bolon and Doshi Levien, and at events including Decorex, Surface Design Show and Workplace Design Show.

Work Today

Today, I work with architects, designers, hospitality businesses and design-led brands across editorial strategy, storytelling and original publications.

My work draws on more than two decades of experience in the design industry and an editorial perspective shaped by a wider curiosity about people and place – the ideas behind the spaces we create, the people that shape them, and the communities and landscapes that surround them.

My work often explores questions including:

  • How do the places around us influence the way we live and feel?

  • How do climate, landscape and community shape our experience of place?

  • What can materials, craftsmanship and nature tell us about where and how we live?

  • How can architects, designers and brands use editorial to share their work, ideas and perspectives in richer ways?
