Professional/Personal Overview
A well-published freelancer, I write primarily about design topics including architecture, interiors, garden design and travel. Living in the Bay Area and working for national design publications, I've had the good fortune to interview high-end design professionals as well as grass roots DIY enthusiasts. Along with my features work, I've been a newspaper columnist for over a decade now reporting on my own travel and design adventures with a sense of style and good humor.
