LINK IN BIO <> LINKEDIN BIO

I am a Brooklyn-based creative consultant, like a McKinsey consultant except that my work holistically spans writing, editing, art direction, and strategy in service of joy and cultural literacy. You can find examples of my client work below, clips here, and follow my Substack and podcast.

  • Production for PIN-UP

  • Photography for Zappos

  • Photo & Art Direction for Sight Unseen

  • Social Video for Architectural Digest

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.

But you still most likely know me from social video. 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.
