Professional Experience
Having worked for many high-profile national magazines, I'm well-published, and adept at editing and writing home- and garden-design pieces of varying lengths, including features. Recent freelance work has involved writing, editing, and blogging, and producing my own pieces from beginning to end -- from procuring and editing photos to sourcing products. I'm especially good at creating fresh ideas and packaging standout, service-driven pieces in print and web formats.
