About Me

I’m an editor with 15+ years of experience covering interior design, lifestyle, and health. As senior editor at Cubby, my focus is on how families live, informed by both my reporting background and life with my husband and two toddlers (for six long months, both were under age two!). I’m also a contributor to Architectural Digest, where I write home tours, with a particular fondness for English countryside aesthetics. I started my career in interior design in Milan, Italy, where I covered the world-famous Salone del Mobile furniture fair and quickly fell in love with all things interiors.

My education

Columbia University (MS in Journalism); Fordham University (BA in English)

Lalo — the baby gear brand behind the neutral-hued, cult-favorite high chair — is bringing a design-forward approach to potty training. (As much as potty training can be, you know, elevated.
