I partner with brands, publications, founders, and cultural organizations to develop what money can’t buy: a real point of view. My work takes fluency as strategy, turning ideas into stories, campaigns, conversations, and content people actually want to engage with.

Who I Am
I am the former deputy editor of ELLE Decor, where I championed emerging industry talents and interviewed international tastemakers like actor Jennifer Coolidge and designer Jonathan Anderson. (She loves a bath, he loves a basket.) Prior to that, I was the founding home editor at Refinery29 and authored The Lonny Home.
I developed the Fancy That column and series for Architectural Digest and produced and hosted The Haute Seat for West Elm. My content has generated over 1M views across platforms and includes everything from celebrity interviews to leotard-clad gallery tours. Here you’ll find examples of client work, my clips, my Substack and my podcast.
