About Me
Design Editor & Writer
I am the Managing Editor for TLmag, a biannual print magazine that focuses on art, design, craft and culture, with each issue dedicated to a specific regional or conceptual theme. I coordinate and oversee all editorial content, review and edit articles by our team of journalists, and write for the magazine. I also contribute to Wallpaper*, Openhouse, Dwell, AD China and abcMallorca, among other media outlets. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of interviewing many creative entrepreneurs and contemporary designers and makers, and I also enjoy writing longer form essays and articles about art, design and travel. In 2020 I co-published a book with Kiki van Eijk titled: Imaginings by Kiki van Eijk.
Brand Copywriting
I enjoy collaborating with brands and businesses, crafting the best copy that perfectly captures their message and style. Working within the fields of travel and hospitality, real estate, interior design and retail is where I connect best.
For over three years I was the managing editor for the luxury travel service Essentialist, where I had the opportunity to dive into the world of travel through an editorial lens, writing about hidden gems around the world and commissioning content from the industry’s most talented journalists. I was responsible for all in-house content for marketing and promotional materials and helped implement their weekly Travel Dispatch newsletter series. Other recent clients include: Roca Group, Ocean View, Pro Materia, Bconnected, Grupo Cappuccino, StellarWorks, Studio MVW & SitaMallorca.
From Southern California to NYC and Paris, I now live between the mountains and the sea in the beautiful northwest coast of Mallorca.
