Professional Experience

I love writing about anything, though I've been focusing my career on food and travel. Recent work includes articles on apartment swapping and Costa Rica for CITY magazine, profiles on notable fashion designers for T Magazine's blog, The Moment, and restaurant reviews and my Sweet Freak column for Metro newspaper. I also co-authored an interior design book (Convertible Houses, Gibbs Smith, 2007), was published in the Single State of the Union anthology (Seal Press, 2007) and keep a blog, www.dessertfordinner.com.
