Hello! Thank you for taking a look at my website. I’m a homes and garden writer and I’ve spent the past 14 years working for consumer magazines. I’m currently the Editor of Houzz and a homes and interiors columnist for the Metro newspaper. My debut book Happy by Design: How to Create a Home That Boosts Your Health and Happiness, was published in June 2018 (Available on Amazon) and I’m currently working on my second book. Find out more about my books here.
Over the years I’ve written about everything from celebrity homes to the latest design trends and even pirate islands and the finer points of sliced bread. I’ve interviewed a great bunch of people, from Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, to Kevin McCloud and Liz Hurley (not all at the same time!) and I’ve presented craft videos for a range of clients including Housetohome, Hobbycraft and Marks & Spencer.
